FreeBRIEF Description
The sanctuary, begun in 1726, stands in a panoramic position on the site of a votive chapel commissioned by Giovannino Guana in thanksgiving for having escaped an attack by weasels, animals once feared and believed to possess demonic powers.
The church was completed in 1742 and dedicated to the Madonna di Caravaggio, whose apparition dates back to 1432. Of note are the wooden group on the high altar, commissioned in Paris in 1885 and depicting the Marian vision, and the 18th-century canvas on the left altar featuring the Angel and Tobiah, the Virgin of Carmel, and several saints. The frescoes decorating the vault, executed between the 19th and 20th centuries, depict episodes from the life of the Virgin and Marian symbols.
