Legends, a church and local characteristics
A legend associated with the sanctuary on Monte Lussari begins in 1360 on Monte Santo. A shepherd from Camporosso found his sheep there kneeling before a juniper bush, as if they were praying. The Pieve di Sant’Egidio was founded by Otto of Bamberg, who was bishop from 1106 to 1139. Both traditions offer another way of approaching the places around Camporosso: Alongside trails and landscapes, religious history and storytelling traditions also play a role.
Another characteristic detail can be found on Via Stazione. This is where the Filare di peri di Camporosso - Tarvisio runs, a row of 51 pear trees.
