The ancient and simple house is now a national monument that, thanks to modern multimedia technologies, allows you to take a journey through time and become a protagonist of the Maestro's childhood.

The Franciscan church and convent, despite the simplicity of their layout, were enriched over the centuries by admirable works of art. The Lamentation over the Dead Christ by Guido Mazzoni from 1476 stands out, with life-size polychrome terracotta statues, extraordinary for the rendering of the protagonists' emotions. Touching.

Busseto is a charming Italian municipality of about 6,900 inhabitants located in the beautiful province of Parma, in Emilia-Romagna. The ancient and elegant capital of the small feudal state of the Pallavicino family, this small town in the Bassa Parmense area is universally famous for being the cradle of the genius Giuseppe Verdi, who was born in 1813 in the hamlet of Roncole Verdi. Every corner of the village, characterized by the typical and evocative Po Valley arcades, is scented with music, opera, and great culinary tradition.

The historic center of Fidenza (once known as Borgo San Donnino) is a small jewel of Emilia-Romagna located along the ancient Via Francigena. Often overshadowed by the famous Outlet Village, the city center actually offers an itinerary rich in medieval history, Romanesque architecture, and charming views to discover on foot.

The patronage of this sanctuary, consecrated to the Madonna, refers to the place LORETO. This is one of the great and significant Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. In contrast to the other two mentioned places, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can be shown something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents – who are not named in the biblical scriptures of the New Testament – are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common feast day in the liturgical calendar is July 26th). Probably, Crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the building revered in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to it, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.

A 2019 art installation by Giuseppe "Giupi" Boles: a large "window" framing sunsets over the Po. It is located in the Lido Po Park, in the floodplain area facing the city: a perfect resting point for those cycling along the riverbank, with an open view of the river, floodplains, and riparian forests. In summer, the "La Baia" bar is open just a few dozen meters away; there is parking and access to the trails of the Golena del Po Intermunicipal Park.
