Il Santuario di San Luigi a Sazzo - Visita guidata

La devozione popolare da sempre si concentra presso la cappella di San Luigi Gonzaga. Gli stucchi barocchi, gli affreschi, i ricchi arredi lignei sapranno sorprendervi.

The soapstone is a rocky formation of opaque green color, very tender and therefore easy to work especially on the lathe.
