An exemplary story of participation and local care, indeed very local, for a devotion that was born in the late 1400s in the “vicinia” of a few dozen farming families outside Este and has remained in that dimension, with alternating events of entrustment to mendicant orders and reassignment to the faithful for four centuries: the church became a parish, in fact, only a few dozen years ago.
The venerated image is a late 15th-century fresco, painted on a pillar located at the crossroads of the (current) roads and then protected from the rain from above with a roof and from below, moving it up along with the entire wall.
The small church, from the early 1500s, has remained almost intact. In its modest size, all the architectural elements of the era are present, from the drum that supports a hemispherical dome, to the arches that hold the side cornice, to the façade, still simple like those from two centuries earlier.
