SENTIER DE LA MADONNA - CAMPITELLO
17 km

SENTIER DE LA MADONNA - CAMPITELLO

Ideal for a family outing, the Campitello walk is short, shady and perfectly laid out with steps and railings for maximum comfort and safety. It takes you through the outskirts of the village, along the river, to the famous rock of the apparitions of the Virgin, a place of pilgrimage imbued with serenity. A little corner of nature and spirituality, accessible to all. Campitello path : Start from the municipal car park: 42.52735, 9.31619 (alt. 522m) Length of walk (excluding breaks): 1 hour Distance covered: 2.2 km Difference in altitude: D+110m / D-110m Difficulty: easy 1) From the car park, go back up to the road and turn left towards the bottom of the village towards the hamlet of Panicale. 2) 60 m further on, you will come to the war memorial (cannon). Mark the path that leads to the hamlet of Bagnolo. Continue 50 m downhill to reach the parish church of San Petru. 3) San Petru church, whose origins date back to the 14th century, is located behind the Casa cumuna (town hall). After a short break in front of the church, head for the bottom of the village, a cul-de-sac for vehicles, following the "Madonna" signs. 4) Reach the San Roccu chapel (remarkable blood and gold doors), turn left and continue towards the bottom of the village. You will enter the oak grove and its magnificent terraced gardens: "e lenze". Originally, these olive groves enabled the owners to harvest their olives and extract their oil. The mill "u fragnu" is located 50 metres below. 5) You have arrived at the site of the 4 apparitions rocks. Campitello shares something in common with Lourdes in that it was the site of apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Between 1899 and 1912, Madeleine Parsi, known as Lélléna, and other villagers witnessed these apparitions. 6) After a rejuvenating break, retrace your steps back to the car park 1.1 km up the hill. If you still have some strength left, continue towards the hamlet of Bagnolo along the path marked earlier (distance approx. 100 m one way / 50 m climb) to discover the chapel of the Immaculate Conception, which contains the painting of the same name by the painter Francesco Carli, dating from 1760-1770. The topo guide is available to download to accompany you along the way and ensure you have a safe and enjoyable hike.

Chapel of San Lucia
8.8 km

Chapel of San Lucia

The chapel is built of small stone blocks with larger stones at the corners. Inside rest the remains of Sainte Lucie and Sainte Apolline, as well as some souvenirs of the hamlet's inhabitants, which only add to the charm of this site. It was restored in the early 1970s. The little chapel, all plastered, stands on a small plateau overlooking the valley of the Ostriconi. Its dimensions, 7.98 m by 4.14 m, make it look more like an oratory than a chapel. In 1646, Monsignor Marliani referred to it as the "oratoria della Annunziata". It has been recently modified: tiled roof (including the apse) and plaster on all the walls, which makes dating difficult. However, some elements give it a Romanesque character: the semicircular apse facing east, a loophole in the centre of the apse. The roof of the apse was slightly raised during the remodelling, as the original layout with a teghie border can still be seen. The apse is built on a base that bridges the slope of the ground. Inside, the line of the triumphal arch can be seen under the blue paintwork, which opens onto a vaulted ceiling. A small side chapel was built on the north side. You can see the recess in the outer wall, which still has a teghie covering. A pretty font is decorated with an angel's head (outside) and a fleur-de-lis (inside). This building is touching because of the freshness of the colours of the interior (white and blue) and the care that the hamlet has taken with it. A commemorative plaque tells us that a new bell was donated in August 1953 by Mr Filippi. Mrs Moracchini-Mazel mentions that, according to oral tradition, this chapel is of Romanesque origin, even if today there is no evidence to confirm this hypothesis. However, it should be noted that the chapel of Saint Lucy is in the visual axis of the small chapel of Saint Michael of Pedano. Several dates appear: 1606 on a building in front of the chapel, 1614 on the font. We can deduce that the chapel existed at that time. The beauty of the landscape and the nostalgia emanating from the ruins of the few houses that make up the hamlet are worth a visit. A small bell tower topped by a cross houses a bell. The present dimensions (6m x 3.65m) are probably the same as those of the previous chapel, as they correspond to the surface area that can be built on a very uneven terrain. In front of the door are various cut stones used in the life of the hamlet: millstone, cut stones to collect the juice from the press. The chapel is the only building to have been rebuilt, the houses of the hamlet being all in ruins.
