Hiking

It was an extraordinary event that gave this name to the sacred place, a snowfall that occurred on August 5th of a year close to 1610. This event, completely similar to the one that happened centuries earlier at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, increased devotion in the comparisons with the Madonna so much so that it became a point of reference for all the nearby communities.
