    Built at the beginning of the 17th century, the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Ardena owes its construction to the Marian cult that had been spreading considerably in the past in the area.

    Its name is linked to the Assumption of Mary and to the tradition that the painting "Mary and the Divine Infant" placed in a small chapel along the ancient path to Lavena was found twice in Campaccio, the place where the Sanctuary still stands today. Precisely because of the name of this place, where the painting was found, the Sanctuary was originally called Oratory of the Blessed Virgin of Campaccio.

      Inside the building, in addition to the aforementioned painting of Mary and the Divine Infant, another painting is preserved, “Mary Blessing”. Made in the 16th century by Carlo Urbini from Crema, it depicts a scene that is uncommon in previous and subsequent paintings: Jesus surrounded by the apostles Peter, James and John, kneeling before Mary who blesses him shortly before the Passion begins.

      The small church, in its early days, was looked after and inhabited by a hermit, who earned his living from what surrounded him and who received a financial contribution from the Royal Empire.
