It is said that, in ancient times, when the Cuceglio valley was shrouded in thick fog and silent legends, a shepherdess, lost among the rugged paths, found refuge under an ancient oak tree. In that solitary place, the Sorrowful Virgin appeared to her, wrapped in a cloak of light, who showed her the way back to her village.
In memory of that miracle, the inhabitants of Cuceglio built a sanctuary on the hill, right at the point where the Virgin had appeared. Today, that sacred place, the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sorrows, offers visitors not only a spiritual refuge, but also a spectacle for the eyes.
Imagine yourself on that hill, with your gaze embracing the entire valley. The hills follow one another like waves of a green sea, dotted with ancient villages and cultivated fields. The wind whispers stories of times gone by, while the sun caresses the roofs of the houses and illuminates the bell tower of the sanctuary.
The building, with its baroque architecture, stands majestically, witness to centuries of faith and devotion. The esplanade in front, with its solitary cross, invites contemplation and reflection. It is said that, on full moon nights, you can still hear the shepherdess singing, a distant echo of the miracle that gave rise to this magical place.
Visiting the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Sorrows in Cuceglio means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of peace and spirituality, where the beauty of the landscape blends with history and legend.
