20의 카발리오-스포치아가지 명소 & 주요 장소

올해로 서거 800주년을 맞는 아시시의 성 프란치스코는 사도 베드로의 말을 빌려 우리의 그리스도교적 삶을 이렇게 묘사합니다. 그는 우리를 "자신을 배신한 이를 친구라 부르고, 자신을 십자가에 못 박는 이들에게 기꺼이 자신을 내맡기신 그리스도의 발자취를 따르도록" 부르심을 받았음을 상기시킵니다 (참조. NbR XXII, 2; 참조. 1 베드 2,21). 가난한 자 프란치스코는 우리가 예수님께 시선을 고정하도록 격려합니다. "형제 여러분, 우리 모두 선한 목자이신 그분께 주의를 기울입시다. 그분은 자신의 양들을 구원하기 위해 십자가의 고통을 겪으셨습니다" (Erm VI). 그러므로 이 십자가의 길에서 프란치스코 성인의 초대에 응하여, 단순히 의식적이거나 지적인 방식이 아니라 우리의 온 존재와 온 삶으로 예수님의 발자취를 따릅시다. "여러분의 몸을 산 제물로 바치고, 그분의 거룩한 십자가를 지고, 그분의 가장 거룩한 계명을 끝까지 따르십시오" (Off XV 13). (2026년 4월 3일 로마 콜로세움에서 교황 레오 14세 성하와 함께한 십자가의 길 묵상 서문 중에서)

Worth the visit, the hike, and the trip. A unique monument, definitely worth a visit with plenty of time.

Imposing church in Baceno

From a Celtic and Roman sanctuary to the Matarella fortress and a Capuchin monastery, this spiritual place tells an amazing story.

In 1656, two Capuchins chose the hill of Colle Mattarella, above Domodosso, to make it a place of pilgrimage. Twelve chapels were built, each with a statue or fresco depicting the Stations of the Cross, with an additional chapel depicting the Resurrection of Christ. At the top of Colle Mattarella stands the octagonal Sanctuary of the Holy Cross, the construction of which began in 1657. In the park of the Sacro Monte di Domodossola are the remains of the Mattarella Castle, destroyed in 1415 by Swiss soldiers who wanted to conquer the Ossola Valley and take it from the Duchy of Milan. In 1656, two Capuchins from the Domodossola monastery, Father Gioacchino from Cassano and Father Andrea from Rho, decided to have Stations of the Cross built on the slopes of Colle Mattarella, leading to a church dedicated to the Holy Cross. It was planned to gradually replace the crosses with chapels for the individual Stations of the Cross. Bishop Guido Maria Odescalchi commissioned the legal scholar Giovanni Matteo Capis to coordinate the project and named the hill Monte Calvario ("Calvary"), as the places of worship of the Sacri Monti ("holy mountains") were intended to symbolize the sites in the Holy Land that many pilgrims could not or could no longer reach. The construction work and the technical implementation were entrusted to the architect Tomaso Lazzaro from the Val d'Intelvi. The foundation stone for the pilgrimage site was laid on July 8, 1657, and in March 1662 the first Holy Mass was celebrated at the altar on which a crucifix by Dionigi Bussola had just been erected. A great benefactor and financier of the project was Kaspar Stockalper, a merchant, notary and governor from the Valais who was forced into exile in Domodossola, directly on Monte Calvario, where his figure embodies St. Gaspar, one of the Three Kings, in the 15th chapel of the Sacro Monte. The project to build the chapels was completed in the course of the 18th century; their furnishings have been constantly restored or renewed since then; the most recent statues, from 1957, are carved in wood.

The city of Roman origin lies on the Toce in the center of the Val Ossolane (Ossola Valley) on the route from the Simplon Pass to Lake Maggiore, in a valley widening into which various side valleys flow, on a large alluvial fan that the Bogna, the right tributary of the Toce, has created here. Today, Domodossola has 17,684 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2022). As the (formerly) largest Italian city whose name begins with "D", Domodossola is used in Italian spelling tables for this letter ("D come Domodossola"). Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domodossola In addition to the weekly market on Saturday, the Sacro Monte di Domodossola is particularly worth visiting. It is part of the Sacri Monti. The Sacri Monti in Piedmont and Lombardy have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Italy since 2003. Finally, you should enjoy the Italian flair in the town. In summer, be sure to eat an ice cream or stop off at a café or pizzeria, it's worth it.

There is a feeling of abrupt detachment when we enter what seems to be the mysterious door to the very heart of the mountain: almost suddenly we pass from a gentle, sunny and verdant landscape to a space of shadow where rare rays of sun struggle to penetrate, grazing the walls like blades of light, we pass from the heat to the cool-humid where only mosses and lichens manage to thrive and develop. We walk easily on the flat and dry bottom, created by the deposits of the streams, large irregularly rounded cavities alternate with narrow passages and above our heads dizzying walls seem at times to almost join together leaving only narrow openings towards the sky. Some metal ladders make the climb easier.

Architecture At the center of the Romanesque stone façade of the monumental Church of San Gaudenzio stands the portal, surmounted by a rose window and flanked by the large fresco of San Cristoforo, painted in 1542. At the entrance, the breadth of the basilica church is highlighted, with five naves, divided by four series of different columns and characterized by a markedly sloping floor, composed of slabs of serizzo. The difference in height between the beginning of the nave and the base of the steps of the presbytery is about 90 centimeters. The side naves are made up of ten splendidly frescoed transepts; in addition to the imposing ciborium of the main altar, seven side altars dedicated respectively to: San Rocco, San Giovanni Battista, Santa Vittoria, the Blessed Virgin Mary, San Pietro, Sant'Antonio Abate and San Carlo Borromeo enrich the Church of San Gaudenzio. The oldest and most artistically valuable part of the building is the Chapel of the Madonna (now of the Rosary), built in 1326; it is located in the nave to the right of the altar, and its wonderful frescoes are dedicated to the life of Mary. In the presbytery, on the right, there is the large Crucifixion (1542), a work by Antonio Zanetti known as Bugnate, below the figures of Adam and Eve, while on the barrel vault the seven-headed dragon of the Apocalypse is depicted; the transept of the presbytery is enclosed by three arches finely frescoed with prophets and sibyls. At the end of the eastern nave you can admire the sixteenth-century Baptistery consisting of a pedestal in white Crevoladossola marble surmounted by a wooden ciborium containing the baptismal font. To the west of the church in 1628 the chapel of the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament was erected, today used as a winter chapel and intended to guard the Blessed Sacrament. The bell tower from 1522, 50 meters high, the 'new' sacristy and the wooden choir behind the high altar, dating back to the end of the 17th century. The architecture of the church is completed by the beautiful organ of Swiss-Valais manufacture by the organ builders Carlent and Walpen dating back to the first half of the 19th century.
