Riserva Speciale del Sacro Monte di Oropa

Oropa and its spirituality are summarized by the words you can see - carved in golden letters - on the pediment of the ancient Basilica: "Davvero fortunato chi avrà fissato in te i suoi occhi e dai tuoi materni sguardi sarà stato accarezzato..." (Lucky those who will fix their eyes on you and will be caressed by your motherly look). The spirituality of Vergine bruna di Oropa is made of meeting, listening, dialog, and contemplation... And to favor this "praying stop", Oropa - throughout the centuries - has built a church and also a house. The book offers a brief presentation of the history and spirituality of Oropa Sanctuary (Biella).
