Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows of Zuccarello

On this mountain stood the castle of the Vitalba nobles: by will of Bernardo Vitalba, in 1347, the church was founded which remained the property of the Vitalbas until the 19th century.
From 1847, the property passed to the Fabbriceria of the Parish of Nembro.

The sanctuary, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows, stands on the top of the Zuccarello hill which dominates the entire valley below, surrounded by majestic mountains.
