Along the way, there is this little shrine to St. Michael:
Roadside shrines to saints used to exist all over Italy and France. Some are still there, including this one. I thought at first that the shrine had a lot of trash in it, but on closer inspection, those papers are holy cards and prayers!
It "only" took us 1 1/2 hours or so to get back down the mountain to the town of Sant' Ambroglio.
In the town, we stopped at the church, which was built in the 1700s.
It's a very small town, a village, really. And they have this gem for their church!
Walking through the town, I noticed this little roadside shrine to Our Lady:
The Latin says "Our Lady of Sorrows, Pray for us."
