Santuario della "Via Crucis", Religious sanctuary and museum in Cerveno, Italy
The Via Crucis Sanctuary contains 198 life-sized wooden and plaster statues arranged in 14 stations along a stepped corridor next to the parish church.
Construction began on January 1, 1752, when local parish priest Andrea Boldini commissioned sculptor Beniamino Simoni to create the Stations of the Cross statuary complex.
The sanctuary represents the Lombard-Piedmontese tradition of Sacred Mountains, with frescos decorating the niches that house the sculptural groups depicting Christ's passion.
The sanctuary requires advance reservations for visits, with contact information available through Michela Passoni at telephone number 328.9014152 for booking arrangements.
Every tenth May, local residents perform a live reenactment of the Passion, bringing to life the characters depicted in Beniamino Simoni's wooden sculptures.
