The Caffi Sanctuary stands in a secluded location between Cassinasco, Canelli, and Bubbio. It is a place of rural devotion linked to the valley communities and, in modern times, particularly dear to the Alpine troops.
A visit allows you to experience a religious tradition rooted in pilgrimages, thanksgiving, and family memories. The sanctuary is simple, yet preserves a heritage that speaks to the relationship between the people and the Madonna.
What to see
Inside, observe the mural paintings and decorative interventions attributed to Giovanni Olindo, a 20th-century artist from Canelli. The images are set in an environment shaped by successive restoration projects.
Votive offerings , when displayed and accessible, are a valuable source of information about accidents, illnesses, departures for war, and graces attributed to the intercession of the Virgin Mary. More than isolated works, they form an archive of everyday life.
The hilly setting invites a leisurely pause. For opening hours, celebrations, the Alpine troops gathering, and organized access to the interior, please contact the Cassinasco Municipality or the parish for up-to-date information.
