madonna-del-canneto

Among the olive trees, on the banks of the river Trigno, there, lonely and old, the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Canneto, overlooking a large valley intersected, and almost marked, by the flow of the river. Romanesque and simple, in its facade, the portal, with its mighty bell tower.
