Originally it was a private house, then, in 1650, donated by the
priest Antonio Costa to the Congregation of the Philippine Friars to
be their church. When the Congregation moved to the New Church of
Piaggia, this church hosted the Confraternita delle Stimmate di S.
Francesco. Costa donated also a big amount of money to support the
priests and to institute an annual prize for three young maids in
need of a dowry from Coste, Manciano and Ponze. The lateral window
was used to receive the “application forms” of the maids asking for
a dowry. This one was used to
receive the requests for the Lucarini Lascito (an heritage left by
the Lucarini family), managed by the Confraternita delle Stimmate.
