To come to a sacred place and find the profane !!!!

The Sanctuary of Loreto is famous. Its walls are thick, more than 50 cm. The activities take place mainly on this Sanctuary.

It is a castle on a hill, by the sea. So it doesn't matter if the toilets are dirty or the parking lots salty, or the half-priests in the basilica are hysterical, or the council staff are inept, or slow, or enormously rude, especially to the old ladies. Tourists will keep coming forever. Loreto has revolved for centuries around a basilica-fortress, built specifically to protect a treasure from pirates. The treasure consists of a unique relic, the "Holy House", the house of the Madonna. Brought from Nazareth in flight by angels, the legend tells. The sea, the aqueduct, the mountain, the walls, the station, the valley. Everything nice. THE PANORAMA stretches from the Adriatic Sea, where the white cliff of Monte Conero plunges, to the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, among which Monte San Vicino stands out. WHAT SEE 1) Piazza della Madonna 2) The Basilica of the Holy House 3) The Apostolic palace 4) The Fontana Maggiore 5) The Monument to Pope Sixtus V 6) the municipal building 7) the Town Hall 8) square and fountain of the Gauls 9) The Archi aqueduct 10) Walls with ramparts and city gates 11) The Polish cemetery THE HOLY HOUSE is the house where the Virgin Mary was born, where she lived until her wedding with Joseph, and where she received the announcement from the Archangel Gabriel of the future birth of Jesus. Where she lived with Jesus. After the Resurrection, the Apostles gathered in this house and celebrated the Eucharist there, as Jesus had taught them. TRANSLATION is the journey of the House, which began in 1291. Nazareth, Trsat of Rijeka, Posatora of Ancona, Banderole of Porto Recanati, Monte Prodo of Loreto (at that time Recanati). The land belongs to the Rinaldi di Antici counts and they petition Pope Boniface VIII to become owners. December 1296 - The angels lift the Holy House in flight and place it in the middle of the road that goes from Recanati to its port, a public place that no one can claim and exploit. The top of the hill is covered with laurel, laurel shrubs. From the Latin laurus, the place was called Lauretum, and therefore Loreto? No, but Lauretum from "Signora Loreta's field", the field on which the house was definitively placed. PARTY - In the countryside there has always been the custom of lighting bonfires at the end of autumn, to burn the weeds. From 1600 the tradition of lighting large fires, the "fogaró" of the Coming, became alive on the night between 9 and 10 December, specifically to "light up the path to the Holy House". December 10 is the feast of the Madonna of Loreto, patroness of the air force. THE HORSE RACE - takes place in the first week of September. This is what the Loreto call it, not "palio" or "drape race". Since 1700 horses have been launched up Monte Reale, 450 meters steep, to see the most powerful horse. The jockey's skill lies in putting a stick into a ring. 9 current wards challenge each year. 3 TRADES OF LORETO - 1-The madonnaro, the one who draws religious subjects on the ground, in the square, with chalks. In Loreto there is only one and that's enough for us. Angel. Very good. 2-The coronara, the one that makes the crowns, necklaces for praying, mounting beads and icons, with special tweezers. 3-La bancarellara, woman at the stall selling crowns, today "souvenirs" to tourists. Once they all stood like greedy vultures in Piazza della Madonna, today they are in Piazza Giovanni XXIII. Perhaps it was precisely the figure of the stall who gave rise to the invention of the famous saying "Osimo is beautiful, Castello is secret, whoever wants thieves to go to Loreto".
