Sanctuary of Our Lady - Saronno (Saronno)

Italy / Lombardei / Saronno
 church, sanctuary
The history of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Miracles began more than five centuries ago, around 1460.

A young boy of Saronno, whose name was Pedretto, had been ill in bed for a number of years. He was healed miracolously by Our Lady of Strada Varesina who invited him to build a church in her honour.
After the building and the ruin of three small oratories on May 8, 1498 the first stone was posed and the building of the Sanctuary started.
