Great little fountain

holy water free and fresh

The original church, probably in Gothic style, smaller but perhaps embellished with 14th century paintings from the Rimini school, underwent various events, until in 1755, having become unsafe due to a subsidence of the ground, it was demolished. On March 18, 1764, Monsignor Francesco Manzi from Longiano consecrated the new building, designed by the Rimini architect Pietro Borboni. The building is in neoclassical style, "perfect in its lines and measurements, and of a sober and controlled elegance". ... On November 28, 1828, Pope Leo XII elevated the church to a Sanctuary. During the Second World War, the Sanctuary, like many other places in Longiano, suffered very serious damage. After being damaged by numerous grenades, it was hit during the bombing on October 7, 1944: the choir, niche, altar, organ, decorations and frescoes were destroyed. The Sanctuary was restored in 1965, with the strengthening of the structures and the reintegration of the architectural lines. The Miraculous Image of the Holy Crucifix The image of the Crucifix, dating back to the 13th century, is of the Pisano-Giuntesca school, painted on canvas applied to a wooden panel. The devotion dates back to a prodigious event, which occurred on May 6, 1493: a calf, donated by the citizens of Gambettola to the friars of the convent, passed in front of the sacred image and knelt down and only rose after the blessing of the Father Superior. The faithful who flocked to the cloister of the convent, moved by the event, began the first procession through the streets of the town. The image of the Crucifix, carefully restored in 1942 by Prof. Enrico Podio, is enclosed in a large niche, created in 1965 based on a design by Gildo Atti of Bologna.
