Gravel riding
The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Pilone originates from an extraordinary event: according to the chronicles, on July 23, 1684, a votive pillar dedicated to the Madonna began to mysteriously swing for several days, attracting crowds of faithful. On August 7, the first mass was celebrated under a tent, followed by the construction of a chapel to protect the Pilone. However, the influx of pilgrims made a larger building necessary: thus the current sanctuary was born, designed by the architect Gian Francesco Baroncelli, with a three-nave structure that still today houses the original chapel.

Just at the exit of the Airasca-Moretta cycle path, a perfect place for a prolonged stop, in the shade and with water available, immersed in the quiet.
