Description: This evocative photograph, captured in 1898 by the skilled lens of Manuel Wielandt, invites us to explore the enchanting sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso nestled in the picturesque town of Orselina, above the shores of Lake Maggiore in the Italian canton of Ticino. The image beautifully encapsulates the harmonious coexistence of the sacred and the natural world, as the ancient church clings to the rugged hillside at the southern foot of the Swiss Alps. 3. Setting the Scene: The serene waters of Lake Maggiore mirror the azure sky, while the alpine mountain range, with its snow-capped peaks, forms a breathtaking backdrop to the scene. The Madonna del Sasso sanctuary, a beacon of faith and pilgrimage for centuries, stands proudly atop the hill, its white walls gleaming in the sunlight. 4. The Principal Sight of Locarno: The sanctuary, with its rich history and spiritual significance, is the primary attraction for visitors to Locarno. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it has been a place of worship since the 15th century and continues to draw devotees from around the world.
