The Church of La Natività di Maria SS., in Lonecommonly known as the Church of Santa Maria Bambina, built between 1894 and 1905, has a façade distinguished by a central door with a semicircular pediment depicting the Madonna and Child, and two mullioned windows with masonry partition columns closed by polychrome stained-glass windows.
The interior, with a longitudinal plan and transept, has a single nave covered by a barrel vault with lunette, decorated by a coffered ceiling. Six large chapels open up along the side walls, separated by faux marble pillars. Above the small altars in two-tone marble, there are some paintings from the workshop of the Neapolitan painter Paolo de Maio, and statues of Saints.
A wide triumphal arch resting on two masonry columns with stucco leaf capitals separates the nave from the presbytery, in the centre of which there is a small marble altar. This is covered by a circular frescoed dome and two short barrel vaults on the sides, which are also sustained by columns with stucco capitals.
On the apse wall, ending in a half-shell with stucco coffers and rosettes, is the high altar, a marble ensemble dating from the time the church was built. The altarpiece of the Madonna del latte, a wooden panel that is part of a dismantled triptych dating back to the 14th century, was located on the high altar of the ancient thirteenth-century parish church.
