Rivodutri. Church of Our Lady of the valley

The church of Our Lady of the valley in Rivodutri houses the image of Our Lady of the Valley that was considered miraculous and venerated.

Originally this picture was in another church, located in the valley, which was destroyed by a rock that had broken away from the mountain in 1750.

The people built a new church at the top, above the village, with the same shape of the previous one and what corresponds to the actual area of the apse.

The church was then extended with a nave in 1827 and, in 1927, with the landscaping.
