According to the tradition, after the fall of the Holy Land into the hands of the Muslims, the navita house of the Madonna is said to have been carried miraculously by angels, first to Tersatto in Illyria and then from the other side of the Adriatic Sea to the Area of Scossicci.
In commemoration and for devotion in the 14th century a little, very simple church had been built dedicated to the Madonna of Loreto and from that time on the Marian cult has been conserved. The name Banderuola, however, derives from the flag that had been exposed to show the fishermen and travellers coming from the sea the way to this holy place, leading from Porto Recanati to the hills of Loreto followin a particularly suggestive itinerary.
