The Santo Sepolcro Church also known as the Church of Calvary, can be reached in about 20 minutes following the forest path that starts from via Santa Geltrude or from the road that goes up from via Piè di Virgolo.

The church, built between 1683 and 1684, has been for centuries a place of pilgrimage. On the right, looking at the entrance of the church, there is a chapel that contains the fountain with Christ. In past times couples used to do small fertility rites to become a child. The elders of Virgolo still remember a popular belief who said that children came into the world under the fountain of the chapel and weren't brought by the stork.

The church has been restored in recent times, but the countless love-graffiti are safe. Pilgrims and lovers engraved the walls of the sepulchre with love messages from the 18th century up to our days and it is a real emotion to read those messages that overlap over the centuries and tell the story of hundreds of people through a heart, a flower, a name, a date or a promise of love.

What to do when your employer makes you redundant? You take
the first step (ironic, considering he worked in a shoe factory
before) towards the right decision: in Gino Gatti’s case that meant
making his passion for photography into his daily breadwinner.
All this happened in 1960 – but this wasn’t Gino’s first rodeo. He’d
nurtured his passion for taking snapshots for years and he’d already
turned it into a money-making activity. To round off his family’s
income, he used to photograph events during his spare time. The
jump from side hustle to main business was immediate, and he
soon opened his own shop. His son Stefano was also a passionate
photographer, and so learnt the tricks and tips of being behind the
shutter as a child. Both father and son would take pictures during
their work breaks, when hiking in the mountains, and when out
and about surrounded by nature. When all the other kids soaked up
the sunshine during the summer holidays, Stefano could be found
working in the shop and spending time in the darkroom. His regular
apprenticeship started at the age of 16 and, in 1996, he took over the
business when Gino retired.
