Beautifully elegant and ornate is the standard for the basilica of Montevergine.

These are but a couple of samples as there are many more within the

basilica.

The sanctuary is nestled atop the Partenio Mountains at 1300 meters on the eastern end of the

chain and about 35 miles east of Naples. It is best reached by driving to Avellino then following

the roadway up the mountainside town of Mercogliano.
