Carmelites Catholic mendicant religious order

The Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel or Carmelites is a Roman Catholic mendicant religious order founded, probably in the 12th century, on Mount Carmel in the Crusader States, hence the name Carmelites. However, historical records about its origin remain very uncertain. Berthold of Calabria has traditionally been associated with the founding of the order, but few clear records of early Carmelite history have survived.

In 1950, the church was assigned to a small parish and titled Madonna dei Prati. The exterior is simple with entrance portals dating to the 15th century. The interior has a painted wooden ceiling; the main altar was sculpted by Giovanni Maria Comun of Grancona. In the presbytery are paintings by Francesco Maffei. [1]
