    The place became famous for a terrible news event in December 1992, when a young woman was killed by a stone thrown onto the highway from the nearby overpass; a plaque commemorates her.

      The Cavallosa Sanctuary is so named after the name of the estate where the sanctuary stands.
      The church was built after the appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus to a mute girl and following numerous healing miracles.
      The original chapel, built between 1700 and 1701, corresponds approximately to the left nave of the current sanctuary.
      Between the years 1901 and 1911 the sanctuary was abandoned following a bishop's interdict due to serious shortcomings of the administrators of the sanctuary. The interdict was lifted after Mr. Domenico Romagnoli don?? the land on which the sanctuary stood (the Cavallosa estate), with the addition of a small site, to the provost of San Michele in Tortona and the ancient now dilapidated oratory, thanks to the economic support of Romagnoli, was restored and enlarged, taking on its current appearance.
