Its history dates back to the time of Charlemagne, when in 774 the emperor donated the site of Montelungo to the Monastery of San Colombano, founded in Bobbio in the year 614. According to popular tradition, the church was built following the apparitions of the Madonna to a poor deaf-mute girl from Lagagnolo, who was then miraculously healed. The healed young woman was then asked to build a new sanctuary where the Madonna would perform many miracles. Over the years the church was rebuilt several times and of the original, the fresco from 1230 with the miraculous image of the Virgin and the Infant Child remains on the high altar.
