The shrine, a popular pilgrimage destination, was built after the Holy Virgin’s miraculous apparition in 1462. The Virgin appeared to a young girl praying to a Marian votive image placed on top of a small tabernacle. The pristine oratory dates back to a period between 1462 and 1483 and was subsequently enlarged over the centuries. The façade, alternatively erected and demolished, was eventually accomplished in 1897 and is presently decorated with terracotta statues by sculptor Pruvini from Milan. Inside, the miraculous icon, connected to the apparition and 1400‘s oratory building, is hanging over the main altar. Among the most relevant work of art, the wooden group with crying figures (Caragnon) probably dating back to the 1700’s is particularly distinguished.
