madonna

High up above the town of Locarno  the location forest  cliff, Madonna del Sasso.
sasso means  rock,  so hopefully truck down for translating it as Madonna on the
Rocks.

The church was consecrated in the 19th century  when a local monk, brother
Bartholomeo, claimed that the Madonna had appeared before him whilst walking in the
woods. the sanctuary either on foot, are feeling energetic,  there is a funicular
its way through the trees and delivers at a very pleasant bar with terrace
ooking down on the church.

There are a number of sculpture groups in rooms surrounding the stairs on the way
up the main church, including one of the Last Supper. inside the church are two
impressive paintings, Flight to Egypt and the Transport of Christ.

The main door are a series of plaques pledging madonna for  helping people daily
lives. the church to be precise from the funicular, it is possible to catch a cable
a car higher up the moutain and evan a chair lift should be determined to higher
get a bird eye view of Lago Maggiore.
