Shrine of Sommaprada

In a scenic location, the shrine is dedicated to Our Lady of the Wayfarers.

Description

The Sanctuary of Sommaprada is located on the road between Clusone and Rovetta, in the Conca Verde locality, in an area dominated by meadows and plants close to a bank.
Also known as the Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Viandanti, it was erected in 1544, following a miracle on July 2, 1533, when the small chapel there with an effigy of the Madonna suddenly lit up to the rescue of a group of woodcutters attacked by brigands.

On the walls it is possible to glimpse some of the pilgrims’ gifts to Our Lady.
On the exterior façade is a fresco from 1921, reproducing the image of the Virgin of Sommaprada and, in the background, Rovetta, while inside the shrine is a late 15th-century fresco with the image of the Madonna holding the Child in her arms.

The Feast of the Apparition is celebrated on July 2.
