Madonna della Neve Chapel (Madonna del Sirino)

What to see

• The square-shaped little church, clad in dry-stone walling.
• The statue of the Virgin with the Child enthroned, holding a globe, in a wooden niche above the altar.
• The path through rocks and beech woods leading to the chapel.

The pilgrimage

The statue is carried on shoulders from Lagonegro up to the chapel on the third Sunday of June, and stays up there all summer. The festival on the mountain is celebrated on 4 and 5 August; on the third Sunday of September the statue returns to the town, to the church of the Santissima Trinità.

How to get there

Visitors climb on foot from the Sirino massif along the pilgrims’ path; the position on the map is approximate.
