From the year 1550
La Madonna del Roseto
("The Madonna of the Rosegarden")
Three
kilometers from the town, built in 1550 on a rock, as can be read from the
writing on the doorway, the Madonna del Roseto is an admirable testimony
as well as an important visual document to the rural churches, even if lacking
detailed artistic qualities.
The Sanctuary of
the Madonna del Roseto is a destination of pilgrimage on Easter Monday,
and on the last Saturday of May.
The
pleasantness of the place, immersed in greenery, with a splendid view on the
valley and mountains that rise and protect this specific structure, is
furthermore a constant call for the numerous people who, during the year, go
visit this little, yet important, monument, of which all of the inhabitants of
Torricella are deeply fond.
