The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four papal basilicas in Rome, is located on the top of the Esquiline Hill and is the only one that has preserved the primitive Christian structure of the origins, although enriched with later additions.

Legend tells us that the wealthy Roman patrician Giovanni and his wife, having no children, decided to dedicate a church to the Virgin Mary, who appeared to them in a dream one night in August 352 AD.

In the dream, Our Lady informed them that a miracle would show them where to build the church.
