Sanctuary of Our Lady of Valverde

The Shrine of Our Lady of Valverde dates back to 1399, when Our Lady appeared to a farmer plowing his field. During the summer of 1711, when the province was hit by a severe epidemic, the inhabitants of Rezzato prayed to Our Lady of Valverde. On October 1, Our Lady appeared a second time to Paul Ogna, 8, and Francesco Pelizzari, 11, who went to collect chestnuts near the Sanctuary pond. Our Lady promised the end of the epidemic.
