The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Pettoruto is an important place of Marian worship located in San Sosti, in the province of Cosenza, Calabria. Immersed in the suggestive gorge of the Rosa river, between Monte Montea and Monte Mula, it is located at about 543 meters above sea level. Origins and legend According to tradition, the sanctuary has legendary origins. A man named Nicola Mairo, originally from Altomonte and unjustly accused of murder, took refuge on the mountain where the sanctuary stands today. During his time in hiding, he had a mystical vision of the Madonna and Child and carved her image on a tuff rock. In 1449 he was cleared of all charges. In the early 1600s, a deaf-mute shepherd boy discovered the carved image and, miraculously, regained his speech, thus allowing the construction of the sanctuary. Architecture and awards The current building was built between 1824 and 1840 by order of Bishop Felice Greco. In 1979, Pope John Paul II elevated it to a basilica
