Beautiful in itself but at a certain point Komoot went crazy by suggesting to cross a farmhouse, I found a closed gate, rightly closed with a padlock, with the consequent absurd detour at the edge of a corn field

Mirasole was one of the farmhouse-abbeys (held by the order of the Humiliated, who dedicated themselves to the cultivation of the fields and the manufacture of woolen cloth with innovative systems for the time: Mirasole possessed the only machines in the surrounding area which made the transformation of the felt wool.

Here, already in the 13th century, a tabernacle dedicated to the Virgin Mary stood next to a source that was said to be miraculous. Even if no miracle is known, over time the fame of this place grew so much that it led the Trivulzio family to build a chapel in 1470 and a real sanctuary a hundred years later. During the plague of 1630 many reported having been saved by the miraculous waters which are still collected today in tubs located at the back of the lower church.

The sanctuary of Santa Maria ad Fontem stands on an ancient natural source believed to be miraculous. The ecclesiastical complex is configured as a stratification of three churches arranged one above the other to which a convent was also joined to house the monks of the order of the Servants of Mary in 1533. In 1799, the sanctuary and the convent became state property and only in 1842 did Princess Cristina Trivulzio of Belgiojoso reopen its doors to the faithful. Philippe Daverio in his article entitled “The happy Madonna of Locate Triulzi” published in the Corriere della sera of 10 November 2013 states that: “What really deserves a visit, ..., is the Marian sanctuary of Santa Maria ad Fontem. … An intriguing fresco is preserved in the sanctuary with a pleasantly smiling Madonna holding up a Baby Jesus with senatorial knowledge”.

Beautiful church along various routes

The road is paved but with some holes, it includes two underpasses for the motorways.

In the lower church (crypt) there is a recently restored Leonardo fresco from the 1500s.

great contrast between the farm with the connected cows and this place of worship
