The church was built to celebrate a
miracle at the end of the 15th century: a knight crossing the
road, was saved by the Madonna, who he had evoked in his prayer,
from being hit by a great stone falling from the mountain. In
this place was built a little church, and on the stone, the artist
Antonio Ramazzo painted the Virgin with the Bambino. Its present
form is the result of several restoration and widening works made
in later periods. The façade was built in 1854.
