Madonna del Sasso

Among the settlements of Piedmont, Madonna del Sasso stands out for its elevated setting above Lake Orta and its association with the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso. The municipality occupies wooded slopes on the lake’s western side, facing Isola San Giulio, the small island that has shaped Lake Orta’s identity for centuries. The sanctuary is the area’s defining landmark, while surrounding hamlets retain the rural character of the Cusio district between the lake and the lower Alpine foothills. It is a quieter side of northern Italy, where winding local roads link hillside communities with the lakeshore.
