Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta is a Romanesque church in Bominaco, Province of L'Aquila. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta and the Oratory of San Pellegrino were part of a monastery dating back to the early Christian era when, between the 3rd and 4th centuries, the site became the burial place of San Pellegrino, who was martyred in Bominaco, pierced by lances. The first church was built around the 8th century and was later donated to the Abbey of Farfa, becoming independent again in 1001. The exact dating of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta is uncertain, but it definitely precedes the dates of 1180 on the pulpit and 1223 on the altar.
