'Landscape & Local Story'

 

From the terrace of the Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca 📍, the rolling Bologna Hills stretch out in a panorama of soft ridges, vineyards, and woodlands. The landscape is a tapestry of green in spring, golden in summer, and rich with autumn colors later in the year, with farmhouses and bell towers scattered among the fields. On clear days, the view extends across the Po Valley, and sometimes as far as the Alps, offering a breathtaking contrast between the countryside and the nearby city of Bologna, visible with its medieval towers and red rooftops. The sight unites urban and rural worlds in a single sweeping gaze.

'...Local tradition ties the hills closely to the sanctuary itself. Pilgrims who climb the 666 arches of the portico to reach San Luca are rewarded not only with spiritual fulfillment but also with this inspiring vista. For centuries, the view has been a symbol of protection, with the Madonna watching over both the city and its surrounding countryside. At sunset, when the hills are bathed in golden light, the scene embodies the essence of Emilia-Romagna: a harmony of devotion, landscape, and timeless beauty...'
