Storia

The legend of the Virgin of Loreto hails from 1291 in Nazareth, where there was the Holy House. The Muslims expelled the Christians from Jerusalem and a group of Angels brought the house to Loreto.

For this reason the Virgin of Loreto is venerated as the patron of the flyers.

It is a legend, but some bricks of the building were brought to Loreto from Nazareth.

A peculiarity of the Virgin of Loreto is her and her son black skin, with the crowns and a clothing that envelops them.

The Loreto’s Shrine was built in 1469 and definitively completed in 1587. It is one of the most important places of pilgrimage in Italy.
