Itinerary in northern Italy. The Sacro Monte, also called Santa Maria del Monte, is located in the Regional Park Campo dei Fiori. In 2003 entered from UNESCO in list of World Heritage. The old village, with its 14 Chapels, dedicated to the mysteries of the Rosary, winding along a pebbly path of about 2 km, is probably the most fascinating Marian itinerary in the world. In the background the area of the cities of Mendrisio and Chiasso in Switzerland and the mountains of Lake Como
