Nostra Signora della Guardia, Romanesque Revival shrine at the Cisa Pass, Berceto, Italy

Nostra Signora della Guardia is a Catholic shrine on the Passo della Cisa, in the municipality of Berceto, province and diocese of Parma. Built between 1919 and 1922 in Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic forms, it has a single nave ringed by an ambulatory, a stone facade with a projecting round-arched portico, and a tall square stone bell tower with a pyramidal spire. The interior walls alternate bands of red brick and grey stone and concrete.

The church was built between 1919 and 1922 on the initiative of the Genoese couple Eugenia and Flavio Fasce and dedicated to the Madonna della Guardia; it was blessed on 16 July 1922. On 29 August 1930, with the crowning of the statue of the Madonna della Guardia, it was raised to the rank of minor sanctuary. In 1965 the Madonna della Guardia della Cisa was proclaimed patron of sportspeople worldwide.

In 1965 the Madonna della Guardia della Cisa was proclaimed patron of sportspeople worldwide, so the shrine draws cyclists and walkers crossing the Passo della Cisa. The bronze Madonna in the ambulatory was made by Enrico Albericci, and the inlaid wooden choir behind it is the work of Africo Salvini.

The shrine stands on the Passo della Cisa in the comune of Berceto, province and diocese of Parma, and depends on the parish of San Bartolomeo di Valbona. It is reached by a long stone staircase leading up to the west front; the isolated square stone bell tower rises to the north-west. The interior is a single nave ringed by a deambulatory, so visitors walk the perimeter past the bronze Madonna by Enrico Albericci.

The bronze statue of the Madonna della Guardia at the centre of the ambulatory was made by Enrico Albericci, while the inlaid wooden choir in Neo-Renaissance style is the work of Africo Salvini. Small oil paintings by Giuseppe Fraschetti sit at the centre of the choir stalls: Christ the King in the middle, the Stations of the Cross at the sides.
