The church, also deconsecrated already in 1844, integrates perfectly with the historical / architectural context of the street in which it stands. The bell tower placed on the entrance door sounded the tolls that spread in the streets of the district starting from the eighteenth century.
The historical reason that justified its construction is particular. It is said, in fact, that originally the street, which later took the same name as the church, was particularly poor and than a fulcrum of debauchery and depravity.
Towards the early 1700s, the inhabitants of the town considered it appropriate to place a small church there so that its presence would serve to ward off bad habits and be a reason for repentance and repentance for those who had lost themselves in the maze of sin. They therefore named it in honor of Mary Magdalene, first a great sinner and then a saint.
At the expense of the Municipality in the early 1800s it was equipped with a painting with the Blessed Virgin, the Magdalene and San Leonardo, the work of the fellow citizen Giovanni Battista Villari now no longer existing. Currently the only traces of its past are a stone altar with sacred stone and a drain of holy water
