San Vittore, Cannobio
Although a church is recorded on this site as far back as 1076, the existing building dates from the 18th century. It is home to the SS Pietà, an image of the Virgin Mary that is said to have bled prior to a plague that devastated the surrounding countryside but left Cannobio largely unscathed. The picturesque candlelight festival of the SS Pietà takes place in Cannobio every January 7 and 8.

I love the forsythia in bloom. What a wonderful sign of spring.
Flowers in bloom! This is day 2 of a snowstorm here.
Please send me a link for Strange Shores... or if you want to host?
