For passionate cyclists, in 1965 Gimondi came to the Madonna della Cornabusa to honor his ex voto for winning the Tour de France. For the faithful and tourists, an impressive sanctuary located in a cave where a source of water flows, born in the fifteenth century during the struggle between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, enjoys an excellent view of the Imagna valley.

The Cornabusa Sanctuary, located in the heart of the Imagna Valley, is one of the most evocative sanctuaries in Lombardy. Built inside a natural cave, the sanctuary is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, venerated in this place since the 16th century. The church has been expanded over the years, while maintaining the charm of the original place of worship carved into the rock. The sanctuary is a destination for pilgrimages and is appreciated for its spiritual atmosphere and spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding valley.
