Chiesa di San Sossio

The Church of San Sossio stands within the fortified court of Teverolaccio at Succivo. Its modest rectangular hall preserves a glazed terracotta floor and a marble portal that may have been reused from an earlier church.

Why it matters

San Sossio is recorded as a subsidiary church, associated with the estate community within the Teverolaccio complex. Its setting links religious life with the fortified court and agricultural settlement.

What to notice

The church’s simple hall plan contrasts with the surrounding fortified buildings. The glazed terracotta paving and marble doorway are distinctive features of its interior and entrance.

Context and history

The church’s date is uncertain: the state heritage catalogue gives a probable seventeenth-century date, while the municipality describes it as an eighteenth-century chapel. It stands within the Teverolaccio complex, a fortified residence and farm settlement with a tentative sixteenth-century date. The chapel’s subsidiary status reflects its relationship to Succivo’s parish church of the Trasfigurazione.
