Beata Vergine delle Cendrole, Catholic shrine in Cendrole, Riese Pio X, Italy.
The Beata Vergine delle Cendrole is a chapel with Neoclassical design, featuring a Doric-style facade, a prominent central portal, and a single nave inside. Natural light fills the interior space, creating a quiet environment suited for prayer and devotion.
The site was originally a temple dedicated to Diana but was converted during early Christian times. The current structure was rebuilt in 1730 by architect Ottavio Scotti.
The sanctuary served as a place of spiritual reflection for Pope Pius X, who visited frequently during his youth and remained deeply connected to it throughout his life.
The chapel is located near Riese Pio X and can be reached via Via Cendrole. Visitors can come during regular hours to attend services or spend time in quiet prayer.
The chapel houses a 1910 organ built by Domenico Malvestio that incorporates materials from an earlier 1770 instrument by Gaetano Callido. This mixing of old and new components makes it a rare example of musical craftsmanship spanning generations.
