Madonna di Tirano, Tirano, Sondrio, Lombardy, Italy
The Sanctuary of the Madonna of Tirano stands on the Swiss-Italian border, where the Virgin appeared to Mario Omodei September 29, 1504, promising an end to the plague if a temple in her honor would be built on the spot outside the city walls. The epidemic subsided, and the townspeople placed the first stone of the Sanctuary March 25, 1505. Because of its crossroads location, it has always drawn pilgrims from throughout Europe. The Virgin's statue was part of a silver-clad grouping executed by woodcarver G. Angelo Mayno around 1520. Napoleonic raiders stripped off the precious metal and destroyed the other statues. In 1946 Pope Pius XII proclaimed the Blessed Virgin of Tirano "special heavenly patron of all Europe."
