Santuario delle Caneve

Description

In the woods you can find the real peace and the Sanctuary of the “Madonna delle Caneve” proves it. The religious building dates back to the XIV Century, even though it underwent several changes during the XVIII Century. Its fame is mostly due to the most famous of its pilgrims, the future Pope John XXIII, who started to go to this place when he was just a child and kept the habit of saying Mass here once a year, even after he had become Patriarch of Venice.
