Santuario di Macereto

The Santuario di Macereto is a beautiful chapel near Visso, situated at 1000 a.s.l.

The sanctuary at Macereto supposedly was erected after a miracle. A wooden statue of the Madonna and Child was being transported across the mountains as a gift from the Marca di Ancona to the Kingdom of Naples. On 12 August 1356, the animal that hauled the wagon with the statue halted here at Macereto, a spot the Madonna putatively chose. (Casciaro).
