"A privileged place is reserved in the Bible for Mary, who was chosen to become the Mother of God and to participate positively in the Incarnation and Redemption. In the past, the grace of divine election was emphasized above all. Today, Mary's response is also emphasized, her yes, or rather, her 'active and responsible consent'. A responsible and courageous yes to a task that involved the whole world..." Text: Albino Luciani, Patriarch of Venice (later Pope John Paul I)

“Nostra Signora deReggio”, with a Romanesque façade, has been mentioned in documents since 1248. Inside is the image of the Virgin, which according to legend was made by Saint Luke, but is instead attributed to a Genoese school of the 14th century. Holm oaks, cedars, horse chestnuts and the oldest centuries-old cypress in Liguria (800 years old) shade the square, where a spring flows from picturesque masks. The coronation ceremony dates back to 1853. Solemn masses are held every Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.

The panoramic road of Mount Cornoviglio is located between the Alpicella pass and the Casoni pass: this offers a fantastic view of the coast and the entire region.

Coffee and cold drinks sold here informally from the building joining the church, where there are picnic tables and a nice view of the valley
