The church of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montebruno.
Returning from a beautiful walk in the woods of Mount Caucasus, my friends and I decided to take the long route and reach the Antola park and the famous road that connects Piacenza to Genoa.
It is here that we encountered the beautiful Sanctuary of the town of Montebruno (formerly the church of Santa Maria Assunta) which is separated from the village by the Trebbia river and the Doria Bridge.

According to local tradition, in 1478, on the site where the sanctuary stands today, there was a miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary. The popular tale states that the Madonna appeared to a mute shepherd boy who, at the sight of the Lady, miraculously regained his speech and then announced the happy event to the people of Montebruno. The inhabitants who flocked to the site of the event found a wooden statue depicting the Virgin on the trunk of a beech tree; today the Marian effigy is placed on the main altar.
