Madonna del Bosco Sanctuary
Important sanctuary, destination of numerous pilgrimages, which rises in an area formerly covered by a dense bush, where, according to tradition, frequent miracles were repeated. The first miracle occurred in 1714, after the deposition of an ex-voto image. The sanctuary preserves a ceramic image of the Virgin dating back to the 1500’s.
The whole history of the sanctuary, its origins, miracles, transformations from 1700 to present, in this site managed and curated by professor Lucci, resident in Alfonsine, and local history expert.

Our Lady Chair and Sanctuary
Just behind Rocca delle Caminate, hidden among the trees, there is a strange rock with shape of a seat. Legend says that the Virgin Mary, tired from a long pilgrimage, sat down to rest on the rock that modelled itself as a throne. The stone of "spongy" was named "stone of the Madonna", and peasants turned to ask for protection for the fields.
