Santuario Beata Vergine della Gamba, Renaissance church in Desenzano al Serio, Italy.

The sanctuary features a rectangular layout with a single nave, two side altars, and a presbytery accessible through seven marble steps.

In 1440, a twelve-year-old Venturina Bonelli experienced a miracle when the Virgin Mary healed her gangrenous leg at this location.

The crypt beneath the main altar contains a sculptural group from 1702 depicting the Virgin Mary and Venturina created by Andrea Fantoni.

The bell tower, constructed in 1883, stands to the right of the entrance and displays statues of Saints Paul, Peter, Alexander of Bergamo, and Benedict.

The sanctuary preserves the original room where the healing miracle occurred, now transformed into a sacred crypt beneath the presbytery.
