santuario santa Maria delle Grazie. Nel<br />

1599 il vescovo Lodovico Taverna fece costruire in quest’area<br />

un luogo <strong>di</strong> culto, che fu poi demolito nel 1655 in seguito allo<br />

sviluppo urbanistico della città; tuttavia, la devozione popolare<br />

nei confronti <strong>di</strong> un’immagine sacra della Vergine, conservata in<br />

questo luogo e ritenuta miracolosa, accelerò la costruzione <strong>di</strong><br />

una nuova chiesa. I lavori ebbero inizio nel 1669 e terminarono<br />

nel 1743; l’e<strong>di</strong>ficio, intitolato a Santa Maria delle Grazie, venne<br />

consacrato già nel 1674.<br />

santuario della Beata verGine incoronata<br />

(teMPo civico). Sorto nel 1488 su <strong>di</strong>segno <strong>di</strong> Giovanni<br />

Battagio, il santuario è il monumento più prestigioso e noto<br />

della città. La chiesa occupa l’area <strong>di</strong> un postribolo dove era<br />

affrescata l’immagine <strong>di</strong> una Madonna. Secondo la <strong>tra</strong><strong>di</strong>zione,<br />

in seguito ad alcuni miracoli avvenuti nel 1487, le autorità<br />

ecclesiastiche e la citta<strong>di</strong>nanza vollero l’erezione della chiesa in<br />

memoria dei fatti accaduti. Il progetto dell’architetto Battagio, a<br />

pianta ottagonale con cappelle ra<strong>di</strong>ali (ottavi) separate da lesene<br />

piegate a libro, due corridoi e portico, rappresenta un unicum<br />

nell’ambiente lombardo del tempo. La pianta ottagonale, tanto<br />

ricca <strong>di</strong> implicazioni dottrinali e <strong>di</strong> storia, lega qui la ricerca<br />

architettonica <strong>di</strong> Bramante in S.Satiro (coro e sacrestia) alla<br />

complessa ideologia relativa al culto della Madonna.<br />

rettoria della Pace. Eretta in segno <strong>di</strong> riconoscenza dai<br />

miracoloso al tempo delle lotte <strong>tra</strong> Guelfi e Ghibellini. Fu proprio<br />

sanCtuary of the hoLy virGin of GraCes. In 1599,<br />

bishop Lodovico Taverna had built in this area a religious site, which<br />

was later demolished in 1655 as a consequence of the urban development<br />

of the city; however, popular devotion towards a sacred image of the<br />

Virgin Mary which was kept here and was believed to be miraculous<br />

accelerated the buil<strong>di</strong>ng of a new church. The works began in 1669<br />

and were finished in 1743 This buil<strong>di</strong>ng, which is de<strong>di</strong>cated to the<br />

Holy Virgin of Graces, was consecrated in 1674.<br />

sanCtuary of the hoLy virGin “inCoronata” (CiviC<br />

teMPLe). The sanctuary was built in 1488 basing on a project by<br />

Giovanni Battagio and it is the most prestigious and renown monument<br />

of the city. The church occupies the area of a former brothel where was<br />

painted the image of a Madonna. Accor<strong>di</strong>ng to the <strong>tra</strong><strong>di</strong>tion, after some<br />

miracle which took place in 1487, the ecclesiastical authorities and<br />

the citizens asked for the buil<strong>di</strong>ng of the church as a commemoration<br />

of these facts. The project of architect Battagio was that of a buil<strong>di</strong>ng<br />

with an octagonal plant and ra<strong>di</strong>al chapels separated by pilasters, two<br />

aisles and a porch; it represents a unicum in the Lombard environment<br />

of that time. The octagonal plant is rich in both historical and<br />

doctrinal implications; it links the architectural research of Bramante<br />

in Saint Satiro (choir and sacristy) to the complex ideology linked to<br />

the worship of the Madonna.<br />

ChurCh of PeaCe. This Church was built as a mark of gratitude<br />

for the gift of peace which was obtained after a miraculous event that<br />

took place during the time of fights between Guelphs and Ghibellines. It<br />

was right during one of these fights between these two factions that was<br />

I SANTUARI MARIANI<br />

durante una delle lotte delle opposte fazioni che da un affresco della Madonna col Bambino si sentì una voce<br />

s<strong>tra</strong>or<strong>di</strong>naria che implorava pace per tre volte. Per questo motivo nel 1516 <strong>di</strong> decise <strong>di</strong> erigere il santuario in<br />

onore <strong>di</strong> Santa Maria della Pace. Degno <strong>di</strong> nota, all’interno della chiesa, la Natività <strong>di</strong> Martino Piazza (1525).<br />

cattedrale <strong>di</strong> santa Maria assunta. La cattedrale,<br />

de<strong>di</strong>cata all’Assunzione della Beata Vergine Maria, è <strong>tra</strong> le più<br />

vaste della Lombar<strong>di</strong>a ed é in stile romanico. Iniziata nel 1160, è<br />

stata completamente restaurata <strong>tra</strong> il 1958 e il 1965. L’interno é a<br />

tre navate. Nelle cappelle laterali si trovano importanti affreschi,<br />

alcuni dei quali de<strong>di</strong>cati alla Madonna; nel secondo altare a<br />

nel 1949 dall’arcivescovo <strong>di</strong> Milano Beato Ildefonso Schuster.<br />

santuario <strong>di</strong> santa Maria della cleMenza.<br />

Nei primi decenni del 1600 si <strong>di</strong>ffonde la fama <strong>di</strong> miracolosi<br />

avvenimenti presso un <strong>di</strong>pinto della Madonna che si trovava<br />

lungo la s<strong>tra</strong>da piacentina (Via Emilia). In questo luogo<br />

accorsero numerosi <strong>fede</strong>li al punto che il vescovo Seghizzi<br />

decise la costruzione <strong>di</strong> un santuario. I lavori <strong>di</strong> costruzione<br />

iniziarono nel 1623 e terminarono nel 1641 ed il 13 ottobre<br />

<strong>di</strong> quell’anno avveniva la solenne <strong>tra</strong>slazione dell’immagine.<br />

santuario <strong>di</strong> santa Maria ausiliatrice. Il<br />

santuario sorse per volontà <strong>di</strong> Don Luigi Savarè e venne inaugurato nel 1924 con la nuova statua de<strong>di</strong>cata<br />

a Maria Ausiliatrice proveniente da Torino e accompagnata in corteo da una folla numerosissima. Tra<br />

le funzioni mariane celebrate con solennità prevale quella del Santuario <strong>di</strong> Santa Maria Ausiliatrice<br />

che, il 24 maggio, con una importante processione viene presieduta dal vescovo.<br />

santuario Beata verGine addolorata. Il santuario si trova a circa due chilometri<br />

da Lo<strong>di</strong>. Un piccolo portico precede il santuario intorno al quale scorre la fonte ritenuta pro<strong>di</strong>giosa.<br />

Ad essa si attribuiscono fatti miracolosi per i quali il luogo <strong>di</strong> culto fu denominata Madonna della<br />

heard from a fresco por<strong>tra</strong>ying the Madonna with child an ex<strong>tra</strong>or<strong>di</strong>nary voice plea<strong>di</strong>ng for peace for<br />

three times. For this reason, in 1516 the decision was made to build a sanctuary to honour the Virgin<br />

Mary of Peace.Worthy of mention is, inside the church, the Nativity by Martino Piazza (1525).<br />

CatheDraL of the virGin Mary of the assuMPtion.<br />

This cathedral is de<strong>di</strong>cated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and it is<br />

one of the largest in Lombardy. It is in Romanic-style. Its buil<strong>di</strong>ng st<strong>arte</strong>d<br />

in 1160 and was completely restored between 1958 and 1965. The interior<br />

has three aisles. In the lateral chapels can be admired remarkable frescoes,<br />

some of which are de<strong>di</strong>cated to the Virgin Mary; in the second altar on the<br />

right, there is a statue of the Pilgrim Madonna, which was crowned in 1949<br />

by Milan archbishop Beato Ildefonso Schuster.<br />

sanCtuary of the hoLy virGin of CLeMenCy. During the<br />

first decades of the 17 th century, the fame of some miraculous events that<br />

took place near a painting of the Madonna which was found along the street<br />

lea<strong>di</strong>ng to Piacenza (Via Emilia). In this place, several believers gathered, so<br />

that bishop Seghizzi decided to build a sanctuary.The works st<strong>arte</strong>d in 1623<br />

and were finished in 1641; on 13 th October of that same year, the solemn<br />

<strong>tra</strong>nsfer of the image took place.<br />

sanCtuary of the hoLy virGin heLP of Christians. This<br />

sanctuary was built from the will of Father Luigi Savaré and was opened<br />

and was opened in 1924 with a new statue de<strong>di</strong>cated to Mary Help of Christians coming from Turin<br />

and followed by a procession of several people. Amongst the Marian services celebrated here, the most<br />

important is that of the Sanctuary of the Holy Virgin Help of Christians on 24 th May, which consists<br />

of an important procession chaired by the bishop.<br />

sanCtuary of our LaDy of sorrow. The sanctuary is about two kilometres away from<br />

Lo<strong>di</strong>. A small porch precedes the sanctuary, around which flows a spring which is considered to be<br />

pro<strong>di</strong>gious. Indeed, miraculous events are attached to it and for this reason, this place was called Ma-<br />
