The Mother of God depicted and venerated here is the one from Lourdes. This well-known Marian pilgrimage site is located in the French Pyrenees and is visited by many people every year, including many sick people who hope for healing. The devotional image of the Mother of God has become widespread - not only in France - and believers have built Lourdes chapels and grottos everywhere. The church's memorial day for "Our Lady of Lourdes" is on February 11th, the anniversary of the apparition of the Virgin Mary (1858), when the Mother of God appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in a rock grotto very close to Lourdes. Bernadette later became a nun and died at the age of just 35. On December 8th (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary) 1933, she was canonized by Pope Pius XI. The commemoration of the Madonna of Lourdes is also World Day of the Sick.

The Cornabusa Sanctuary, located in the heart of the Imagna Valley, is one of the most evocative sanctuaries in Lombardy. Built inside a natural cave, the sanctuary is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, venerated in this place since the 16th century. The church has been expanded over the years, while maintaining the charm of the original place of worship carved into the rock. The sanctuary is a destination for pilgrimages and is appreciated for its spiritual atmosphere and spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding valley.

The Ferrera or white water cave consists of a collapse chamber divided into two parts, about 190m long and up to 40m wide with gigantic boulders detached from the ceiling. The origin of the cavity is certainly natural but in the past it was used as a mine for the extraction of iron hydroxides.
