For local people, this sanctuary represents an important place of devotion.
There is a legend linked to this place, which says that, in 1532, Mary appeared in front of Filippo Viotti (a local inhabitant) and he was told to build this sanctuary for her. The strangest thing of this history is that the boy was deaf-mute.
This legend was represented on a painting, which the “brescian” artist Moretto (Alessandro Bonvicino) realised in 1534.
This work of art is one of the most important made by the local artist.
