THE MADONNA DELLA NEVE
A legend, linked to the magnificent Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, has it that in 358 ad the Madonna appeared in a dream to Pope Liberius, asking him to build a church dedicated to her. That morning a snowfall blanketed the place where now stands the Basilica: was on 5 August.
For a hundred years the Church was called "Santa Maria della Neve".
Today the miracle of our Lady of the snows in Rome is known all over the world and is considered one of the most important events of our traditions.
Conco wanted the Madonna della Neve as its Patron Saint.
