A brief explanation of the patronage of 'MARY OF THE SNOW', which visitors don't encounter very often: This takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically to Rome. On August 5, 363, the so-called "miracle of the snow" occurred at the site where the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore now stands. That is to say, on that day, in the middle of summer, snow lay there in the morning because the Virgin Mary wished to have a church dedicated to her built on that spot. She conveyed this wish in a vision to a wealthy couple – who subsequently initiated and financed the construction – and to the Bishop of Rome, who at that time was Pope Liberius. The Roman church holds the rank of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica) and is the origin of all churches and chapels with this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, August 5th, the feast day of the church's consecration (in the year 432 by Pope Sixtus III), is an optional memorial. Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome was the focus of international attention last year because Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday 2025, had chosen this church as his final resting place.

Every time you return you always feel the same amazement at the beauty and (fairly) uncontaminated nature. The path is not difficult, however, non-slip shoes are always recommended.

Indescribable, you have to visit it! A few tens of meters from the entrance you have to leave your bike and continue on foot. Guaranteed show! Be careful of slippery rocks inside the gorges, use suitable shoes.

Very pleasant picnic area to take a very fresh bath. Very crowded in August, but just move a few hundred meters to enjoy the river in peace. From here it is possible to follow the path that follows the Calore gorges and arrives at the medieval bridge

Great opportunity to jump into the cool water

We pedal in the middle of thick vegetation that gives us a little coolness even on hot summer days. At this point we cross the Calore river thanks to an ancient Roman bridge.

Here is the information about this magnificent place https://www.goledelcalore.it/

Medieval stone bridge over the Calore River in the hamlet of Magliano Nuovo. It is the largest and best preserved of the four bridges over the Calore river in the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Monti Alburni National Park.
