Sanctuary of the Madonna del Calanco - Dozza (Bologna).
The object of the cult is the image of the Assumption with folded hands carried by angels, some in the act of supporting it other celebrations, of the XV-XVI century.

Tradition says that the image of the Virgin was hung on a tree by some shepherds who had accidentally found it and that under it a cripple stopped to rest. When he woke up he was cured of his illness.

The image of the Madonna is finely worked in an oval white scagliola tile. .At the end of the eighteenth century the French government ordered the dismantling of all that was sacred on the territory including the Madonna del Calanco which was however saved by the Toschi family who bought it with all the sacred furnishings.

The building was restored for the first time after the First World War and a second time after the Second World War and restored to its old form without side altars. From 1723 the day of the patron, which in Dozza coincides with Pentecost, the Madonna del Calanco is carried in procession.

Only in this period, for a week, it is visible to the public.
For the rest of the year the sanctuary is not accessible because it is privately owned.
