Sanctuary of Valinotto, Baroque Catholic pilgrimage church in Carignano, Italy

The Sanctuary of Valinotto features a hexagonal ribbed dome with frescoes painted by Pier Francesco Guala between 1738 and 1740.

The current church replaced a small hermitage dedicated to the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, following the design of architect Bernardo Vittone in 1738.

The sanctuary represents the Roman Catholic traditions through its dedication to the Visitation of Mary to Saint Elisabeth within the Turin Archdiocese.

Visitors must make reservations two weeks in advance by calling +39 338 145 2945 to access the church and participate in guided tours.

The architect Vittone expressed concerns that the dome's decorations were too elaborate, affecting the intended light perception in the space.
