크레모나 최고의 러닝 경로

In view of this small wayside shrine, which the builders dedicated to the Madonna, I would like to offer the viewer a brief reflection from Saint Padre Pio (Pio da Pietrelcina, 1887 to 1968): “Always stay close to this Heavenly Mother, for she is the sea that must be crossed to reach the shores of eternal splendor.”

Church of San Pietro (Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart) in the nearby village of Gera, an 18th-century Marian sanctuary entirely covered in marble and mosaics to celebrate the figure of the Virgin, present both inside and outside at the initiative of the priest Pietro Mizzi (parish priest of Pizzighettone until 1999) who dedicated his entire life to its embellishment.

The Church of San Pietro (Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart), in the nearby village of Gera, dating back to the 11th century, bears witness to the various eras the village has gone through and still retains a sacred and fascinating atmosphere today. At first glance, its colorful façade is striking, dominated by mosaics on a golden background with the images of saints and classic religious scenes, the creation of which is due to the work of Don Pietro Mizzi after the Second World War. Although the structure of the Church of San Pietro is rather classic, of Romanesque layout, it is the entire façade that makes it unique in its kind in Italy. Also on the outside, the spire bell tower makes a beautiful display, while inside you can admire frescoes from different periods, from the oldest of the Lombard school to the most recent of the 17th century.

Excellent location for a relaxing break during a bike ride. In fact, near the sanctuary there is a bench and water surface which are excellent for resting and enjoying nature.
