The monument, located on the panoramic terrace of the sanctuary, overlooking the lower Val Seriana, is a patinated bronze frame inside which sculptural elements are positioned. It is the winning work of the competition for the design of a monument/memorial dedicated to the victims of the Covid-19 pandemic at the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve in Pradalunga. The work that won the First Jury Prize was presented by the artist Luca Cavalca.

A very well kept sanctuary, we were amazed to find such beautiful frescoes.

I passed by it during a longer hike, but it could also be suitable for a picnic.

Near the church there is free parking. Leave the car here to start the excursion comfortably.

Passage point (and panoramic) which makes the excursion pleasant.
