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.

Very scenic waterfall, located at the source of the Enna river. Going up (with caution, the area is very humid and full of moss) to the top of the waterfall, you can admire the cave from which the Enna river flows.

Mine from which galena (Lead Sulfide) was extracted. It is located 20 minutes from the Alpinisti Monzesi refuge, at the foot of Mount Resegone, where you can observe some entrances to the mine, located on three levels (one collapsed). On the way there are some structures in ruins. Located at 1225 meters above sea level, the mine is also known as "della Rolla".

The best time to admire these falls is spring, when it is normally full of water, mosses of various shades and flowers. Unfortunately not this year 😔

Description The Giongo stream (or Gionco) is a watercourse in the province of Bergamo. It originates south of Canto Alto (Forcella di Camblì), north of the capital and flows into the Brembo at Botta di Sedrina after 4 km from the left. It runs through the valley of the same name, crossing the municipalities of Sorisole, Villa d'Almè and Sedrina. For half of its course it forms the northern border of the Parco dei Colli di Bergamo. The Giongo valley is not crossed by roadways or urbanized, and is therefore considered one of the places of greatest naturalistic interest in the lower Orobie near Bergamo. Source: Wikipedia
