The Basilica of Santa Maria di Monte Berico is an important Roman Catholic pilgrimage church located on the hill of Monte Berico. Its origins date back to two apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which are said to have appeared to the peasant woman Vincenza Pasini in 1426 and 1428 during a plague epidemic. Mary promised to spare the town if a church were built there, which the population immediately did. The original Gothic church was completed in just three months. The current basilica was built between 1688 and 1703 according to plans by Carlo Borella in the Baroque style, with the Gothic structure incorporated into the new building. The façade was redesigned in the Neo-Gothic style in 1860. Particularly striking are the three symmetrical Baroque façades with 42 figures of saints and three bas-reliefs by Orazio Marinali, as well as the bell tower by Antonio Piovene, erected in 1825. Access from the city is via a 700-meter-long staircase with 150 arches, symbolizing the 15 mysteries of the Rosary and 150 Hail Marys. The basilica is an important center of Marian devotion, attracting numerous pilgrims, and was elevated to a minor basilica by Pope Pius X in 1904.

Fantastic road with little traffic, in the shade and with really mild temperatures! while in the center of Verona it was close to 30 degrees at 8 in the morning, in the Pissarota valley we were at 20.

Fairly easy climb with some more challenging bumps to overcome. At the beginning of the climb on the right the particular Incompiuta church from the early twentieth century that was never completed, then you enter the woods of the Berici hills with alternating shade and sun. very beautiful to walk through.

If you come from outside Chiampo, stop by the Molino

Arzignano sports park

An "iconic" place in Vicenza, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city.

Decent panoramic point near the Berici ridge. Not to shout miracle but with good visibility the view is worth it.

The center of Brendola and the hamlet of Vo' are connected by a remarkable panoramic road, among the most beautiful in this area of Vicenza. Brendola is known as "the door to the Berici Hills", while Vo', short for Vado, has about 1,500 inhabitants.
