Santa Maria dei Raccomandati, Orvinio

{{Short description|17th-century Roman Catholic church in Orvinio, Italy}}

Santa Maria dei Raccomandati is a 17th-century Roman Catholic church and former Franciscan convent and hostel outside of the town of Orvinio, in the province of Rieti, region of Lazio, Italy.

The church was erected just outside the town walls in 1582. A 1638 document calls this the Convent of Canemorto, referring to the old name of Orvinio. In 1653, under Pope Innocent X, the convent was suppressed and only reopened when the commune provided the monks with support.[https://books.google.com/books?id=NZlQ9u8AqPYC Sabina sagra e profana antica e moderna ossia Raccolta di notizie del paese]; by Francesco Paolo Sperandio; Stamperia Giovanni Zempel, Rome (1790); page 176.
