Our Lady of the Snows in Vallecupola: a panoramic walk towards a hidden treasure
In Vallecupola, a small hamlet of Rocca Sinibalda, the Church of Santa Maria della Neve unites nature and art. It stands in isolation, yet can be reached on foot from the village with a walk that offers a rewarding and breathtaking panorama. Inside, a piece of exceptional quality awaits: a 16th-century processional cross in embossed silver.
A journey that is part of the visit itself
What makes this church truly distinctive is the path that leads to it. It is not a building one stumbles upon by chance along a road. You must seek it out, setting off on foot from the small village. It is this walk that makes it special — an experience that prepares the visitor for discovery, as the view gradually opens out over the surrounding countryside.
The silver treasure of the 16th century
Once inside, one discovers precisely why the journey is worth making. The church houses a remarkable work of art: a processional cross from the 16th century, crafted in embossed silver. A precious object that speaks out loud about the history and devotion of this small community across the centuries.
