La scalinata del Santuario di Montallegro
La scalinata del Santuario di Montallegro.
Arrivando al Santuario sopra a Rapallo si deve affrontare un bel sentiero che termina in una bella e ripida scalinata.

Considered one of the main Marian sanctuaries in the metropolitan area of Genoa and Liguria, it was built by the people of Rapallo between 1557 and 1558, together with the adjoining shelter for pilgrims, after the apparition of the Virgin Mary on 2 July 1557 to the farmer Giovanni Chichizola. The current marble façade dates back to the renovation carried out by the Milanese architect Luigi Rovelli in 1896, and inaugurated with a solemn ceremony on 21 June of that year.
