Just north of Pietravairano, the sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vigna, rebuilt in the 17th century, with late-Gothic frescoes in the crypt.

Just outside the town, north of Pietravairano, stands the sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vigna. The building we see today is the result of a 17th-century reconstruction that renewed an older place of worship, dear to the devotion of the local community.The real treasure lies beneath the church: the original crypt preserves interesting late-Gothic frescoes, evidence of the sanctuary's earliest phase. We love discovering these overlapping layers of history. We suggest asking locally about access to the crypt and combining the visit with a walk around the outskirts of the town.
