이 성소의 명칭은 성모 마리아에게 봉헌된 것으로, LORETO를 지칭합니다. 이곳은 프랑스 피레네 산맥의 LOURDES, 포르투갈의 FATIMA와 함께 유럽의 크고 중요한 성모 순례지 중 하나입니다. 그러나 언급된 다른 두 장소와 달리 로레토는 성모님의 발현으로 유명해진 곳은 아닙니다. 이곳에서는 순례자에게 매우 실질적인 것을 보여줄 수 있습니다: 바로 나사렛(이스라엘)에 있는 마리아의 부모님 집입니다. 성경 신약에 이름이 언급되지 않은 – 그녀의 부모님은 외경 전승에서 언급됩니다: 성녀 안나와 성 요아킴은 따라서 예수 그리스도의 외조부모입니다 (성인 달력에서 그들의 공동 기념일은 7월 26일입니다). 아마도 십자군들이 13세기 말 성지에서의 기독교 왕국 시대가 끝날 무렵, 나사렛에서 숭배되던 건물을 해체하여 유럽으로 옮겼을 것입니다. 그러나 이 매우 현실적인 가정과는 대조적으로 훨씬 더 흥미로운 전설이 있습니다: 그 전설에 따르면 네 명의 천사가 이전을 수행했으며 집을 지중해 위로 날아 옮겼다고 합니다.

Isola Dovarese is a gem set along the course of the Oglio River, a village that proudly preserves its historical soul. Walking along its streets means immersing yourself in a past made of Renaissance architecture and atmospheres of times gone by, where every stone tells of ancient glories and community life. The beating heart of the village is the splendid Piazza Matteotti, a large quadrangular space surrounded by porticoes, designed by the architects of the Vignola school. Here, every year, the Palio di Isola Dovarese brings the seventeenth century back to life: an event that transforms the village into a large open-air theater, among period costumes, flags in the wind and historical reenactments. But Isola Dovarese is also nature and slowness: the Oglio River embraces the village and invites contemplation, the discovery of paths that wind through woods and countryside. A place where history meets quiet and where every journey becomes an experience. (Anna)

If you have a little more time it is certainly worth stopping to visit the very beautiful courtyard, always full of modern sculptures to admire. You can also stop at the bistro to taste excellent food or make small purchases of some typical products of the area. You can continue on gravel or MTB passing behind the courtyard along a small road that will then reconnect to the bank of the Po to observe the fauna and vegetation a little more closely. If wet the ground in some places could be quite muddy.

Following the road of the Food Valley it is absolutely obligatory to pass through Roncole Verdi and consequently visit the birthplace of Giuseppe Verdi.
