In the hamlet of San Fedele Superiore stands the small eighteenth-century Oratory of Santa Liberata.
This oratory, built on a previous structure, has a nineteenth-century gabled façade, with a portal in relief of the Saint; on the right the eighteenth-century bell tower was revived in the following century.
Inside, the stucco statues of SS stand out on the sides of the arch. Rocco and Giovanni Battista, imitating the motifs popularized by GB Barberini. The presbytery, preceded by a balustrade, has a grandiose altar with twisted columns and stuccos, complete with "sky" and stuccos of the Annunciation, and the altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception by Carlo Carloni; on the left the early seventeenth century altarpiece (Madonna with Child and Saint Catherine of Alexandria); on the right a "dark" Santa Liberata dating back to the end of the seventeenth century; on the vault we find repainted stuccos and frescoes.
Stucco work from 1747 and balustrade also in the chapel on the right, while the counter-façade retains the nineteenth-century frieze.
