Sanctuary of the Visitation: built in the seventeenth century above a hill called “De lo rei” (Sinners’ Hill), near an oratory. The popular tradition indicates that the sanctuary was built following the trajectory of the meridian that would cross the village, as proposed by astronomer Cassini, but no documents attesting this fact were found. The building is also called Madonna del Poggio dei Rei because, according to legend, those who confessed their sins to the priest were sent here to atone for their faults, kneeling above the corn. Inside the church, a dark room sundial was created in the early 2000s. It works like this: the solar image enters the church from a pinhole and projects the solar noon on a meridian line that runs through the whole church; this sundial is among the largest existing and the largest built since the late nineteenth century.
