Santuario della Madonna del Bosco, Imbersago
Santuario della Madonna del Bosco, Imbersago, Minor basilica and shrine in Imbersago, Italy.
The sanctuary exhibits an octagonal layout with a three-lobed nave, featuring a presbytery adorned with a balustrade and an altarpiece of Madonna and Child.
Architect Carlo Buzzi designed and constructed the sanctuary between 1641 and 1644, with subsequent expansions occurring in 1677 and 1888.
The sanctuary houses 112 tablets of ex voto prayers, painted between 1862 and 1878 by a single artist according to research by Natale Perego.
Visitors can access the sanctuary through the Scala Santa, consisting of 392 steps that lead to a belvedere with a bronze statue of Pope John XXIII.
The site commemorates an event where a child threatened by wolves was saved after the mother called upon the Virgin Mary for protection.
