La basilica di Santa Margherita. Storia ed arte del Santuario di Nostra Signora della Rosa a Santa Margherita Ligure

The Church of Santa Margherita had, at least at the start of its history, many ups and downs, but, eventually, luck and popularity prevailed: the church gave its name to the site, formerly known as "Piscina", a name promising a marshy soil and, consequently, a poor territory.
This monograph, with its accurate reconstruction of the history of the "Santuario di Nostra Signora della Rosa" and its detailed description of the most recent restorations, is a good starting point to think back to the events of the local community, laying emphasis on the religious, architectonical and artistic value of the site, which nowadays is appreciated by tourists coming from all the world. Due to the international prestige of the village of Santa Margherita Ligure in the book you will also find an English abstract of every chapter.
