A bit of history:
Since 1432 the bishop of Cremona had a chapel built in the place where it is said that Virgin Mary appeared.
Near the chapel was also built a small hospital for sick pilgrims.
At the middle of the 1500's the little church was in ruins but in 1575 began the construction of a new one designed by the architect Pellegrino Tibaldi.
The work lasted for several decades to be finished in the early decades of 1700 without any particular changes from the original project.
