Caneve Sanctuary

Peace is in the woods, and the shrine of the Mother of Caneve seems to confirm this. The religious building dates back to the fourteenth century, although it was later modified in the eighteenth century. Its fame is due to the most famous of its pilgrims. The future Pope John XXIII in fact began to go to this place as a child, and kept the habit of celebrating Mass here once a year, also when he became the Patriarch of Venice.
