Tips from the Community
The patronage of this sanctuary, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the place LORETO. This is one of the great and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. In contrast to the other two mentioned places, however, Loreto did not become known through apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can be presented with something very tangible: The family home of Mary in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents – not mentioned by name in the biblical scriptures of the New Testament – are named in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common memorial day in the calendar of saints is July 26). Probably crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the building venerated in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to this, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.

The church of Saints Nazario and Celso is a church located about two kilometers from Montechiaro d'Asti, in Piedmont, on the slopes of a green hill (the "Bric San Nazario"), surrounded by trees all around except for the facade. It is characterized by a tall bell tower and the chromatic effect given by the alternating bands of brick and sandstone. It constitutes an important testimony of the Romanesque architecture that developed in the 12th century in the Monferrato astigiano.

Beautiful little church on the road from Cellarengo to Montà d'Alba, just above the latter. The road to get there offers stunning views of the surrounding hills.

There's always a beautiful view from the Giant Bench in Verrua. It's worth the effort to climb it and a few minutes sitting admiring the Alps.

A hamlet that takes its name from the (ruin of) castle that dominates it. It is an ancient palace in ruins, with a very Gothic-Romantic appearance, surrounded by the farmhouses that make up the actual hamlet. Arriving from the provincial road from Isolabella to Poirino you are greeted by a Romanesque church, also in a state of partial abandonment (but still intact in its structure), and with a small cemetery in the apse area. The whole thing has the appearance of a Gothic novel, and only a few ghosts are missing to complete the sensation (assuming that they are truly missing...). It is located a little away from the main roads, but you can get there comfortably both from the hamlet of Torre Valgorrera, and directly from Poirino via gravel paths on compact dirt roads in good condition. It is definitely worth a visit.
