モンカリエリのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

18世紀後半の小さな教会は、かわいらしく、非常に典型的で、自然の景観によく溶け込んでいます。周囲の景色はまさに楽園のようです。そこへ行くのは少し大変ですが、それだけの価値はあります。 興味深い点：通常、最初に建てられるのは鐘楼ですが、この場合は教会よりもずっと後に鐘楼が建てられました（19世紀末）。

A wonderful stroll through the alleys of Moncalieri...

The Victory Lighthouse, also known as the Maddalena Lighthouse, is a colossal monument dedicated to the Winged Victory, located at the top of the Memorial Park near the Maddalena Hill. The optics of the lighthouse are located in the torch held in the hands of the imposing bronze statue, a work by the Turinese sculptor Edoardo Rubino.

A popular destination for locals and tourists alike, somewhat removed from the – sometimes hectic – hustle and bustle of the megalopolis of Turin, the "Colle della Maddalena" is the highest peak in the surrounding area at almost 700 meters. However, the mountain is crowned not by a summit cross or other small sacred monument, but by a female figure from Roman mythology: "VICTORIA," the goddess of victory.

A brief explanation of the patronage of 'MARY OF THE SNOW', which is not often encountered: This takes us far back in church history to the fourth or fifth century, and geographically speaking, from Piedmont to Rome. On August 5, 363, at the site where the church of Santa Maria Maggiore stands today, the so-called "Miracle of the Snow" occurred. That is, on that day, in the middle of summer, snow lay on the ground that morning because Our Lady wanted a church dedicated to her to be built on that spot. She expressed this wish in a vision to a wealthy couple – who financed the construction – and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius. The Roman church has the rank of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica); it is the origin of all churches and chapels with this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, the date 5 August, the day of the consecration of the Church (Anno Domini 432 by Pope Sixtus III), is a “non-obligatory memorial day”.
