FreeSHORT Description
The sanctuary, begun in 1726, stands in a scenic position on the site of a votive chapel commissioned by Giovannino Guana in gratitude 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 main altar, commissioned in Paris in 1885 and depicting the Marian vision, and the 18th-century canvas on the left altar featuring the Angel and Tobit, the Virgin of Mount Carmel, and several saints. The paintings decorating the vault, executed between the 19th and 20th centuries, illustrate episodes from the life of the Virgin and Marian symbols.
