The miracle and St. Charles Borromeo

On April 24, 1583, in a small chapel, according to contemporary accounts, a painting depicting a Pietà was the protagonist of a miraculous event: the Madonna depicted in it shed tears of blood. Archbishop San Carlo Borromeo ordered the design of a large sanctuary for the Marian shrine in order to commemorate the miracle.
