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.

It is the place of spirit, art, culture and silence.

Great way to outsmart a rainy day in the Cilento

Monte Cervati with its 1899 meters is the highest peak in Cilento and the second in Campania. It can be reached by paths that start from Sanza, Piaggine or from Monte San Giacomo and offers 360-degree views of the Cilento National Park, Vallo di Diano and Alburni.

The sinker of Vallivona is one of the natural attractions of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. The particular microclimate of this karst sinkhole makes the environment very special. To reach it, it is necessary to go through a tunnel of about 500 meters in the dark and very humid.

The Certosa di Padula is a sumptuous Baroque monumental complex, it is the first charterhouse built in Campania and the largest in Italy.
