Church of Our Lady of the Rosary

The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, built after the earthquake in the eighteenth century, features Baroque styles in both its structure and interior decoration. Inside, the monumental Baroque organ on a wooden structure, created by Adriano Fedeli of Rocchetta di Camerino, stands out. Six side altars, in addition to the main altar, display stucco decorations with the coats of arms of Navelli's noble families. The altars on the Gospel side are dedicated to the Most Holy Crucifix, Saint Anne, and Saints Andrew Avellino and Cajetan of Thiene; those on the opposite side are dedicated to the Most Holy Annunciation, Saint Emidius, and Saints Anthony Abbot and Isidore the Farmer. The vaults preserve valuable late eighteenth-century paintings depicting Paradise and the civic coat of arms of Navelli, from which the village's name is believed to originate.

Of particular value is the altarpiece depicting the Madonna of Pompeii, restored and reinstalled in 2021. The canvas shows the Virgin with the Christ Child, flanked by Saints Dominic and Catherine of Siena, who receive the rosary from the Madonna, surrounded by angels and the 14 mysteries of the rosary. The work, by an unknown artist, belongs to 17th-century Counter-Reformation art, characterised by rigour and expressive simplicity, with the aim of spreading Catholic doctrine. The altarpiece represents one of the most significant examples of peripheral Abruzzese art, now re-evaluated thanks to restoration and conservation efforts promoted by the Municipality of Navelli, ANCE, ABAP, and the Diocese of L'Aquila.
