Oratorio della Madonna dei Boschi

Evocative place in the midst of greenery and easily accessible, too bad because the chapel is always closed.

The Oratory of the Madonna dei Boschi is a monument of interest to the Municipality of Pianoro. The small church was built following the miraculous event that occurred in the area: a young faithful, Maria Casarini, who had motor difficulties, decided to pray to the Madonna imploring her in a miracle and the morning after her pilgrimage, the girl started walking again perfectly . The church is immersed in a picturesque wooded area in the Regional Park of the Gessi Bolognesi and Calanchi of Abbadessa. The population of Pianoro venerates this image in September, organizing the traditional Feast of the Madonna dei Boschi. This place is also a rest area for the numerous trekking routes within the Park.

Given that it is only a small church that I have always found closed, the evaluation is for the location ... Worth a nice ride on foot or by bicycle (in MTB it is sooooo nice and not too technical). D in front of the church you will find a beautiful space with bench and a huge oak. The very interesting history of the place is also well marked.

Quiet, peace, silence
