From this vantage point, you can almost feel the hope the Madonna del Pign inspired in the people of Garda. This statue, perched on the slopes of La Rocca, holds a special place in the hearts of the locals. You see, at the end of World War II, Garda had been miraculously spared from devastating bombing raids. As a testament to their gratitude for this protection, they placed this statue here. The Madonna del Pign, which translates to “Madonna of the Pine Cone”, stands as a symbol of peace and a reminder of deliverance from hardship. Even today, she seems to watch over the town, offering a sense of comfort and security from her lofty perch.
