The religious experience at the Sanctuary of the Holy Trinity of Vallepietra is uniquely defined by the enduring tradition of the pilgrimage on foot, where tens of thousands of faithful gather during the full moon following Pentecost. Organized into "companies" from across various regions, these pilgrims traverse arduous mountain paths behind decorated banners, braving the elements and physical exhaustion to reach the sanctuary by the Solemnity of the Trinity. This massive influx of people, which mirrors the relentless flow of the surrounding Simbrivio river and its waterfalls, highlights a profound connection between the natural landscape and the spiritual journey. By maintaining these archaic and simple methods of devotion, the pilgrimage continues to resonate deeply with modern individuals, fostering a powerful sense of community and personal transformation through shared sacrifice.
