Beside the lighthouse, there is a bronze statue. It is called "the bride of the seaman" and it is dedicated to all the women who were waiting for the return of their husbands, working as seamen or fishermen. It is also dedicated to those who never came back.
It was inaugurated in 2011.

Bologna, Italy - 11th April 2015

This is the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Saint Luca.
It is placed over a forested hill, called "Colle della Guardia", about 300 metres above the city plain.
It is a very beloved monument for people of Bologna, because when you are driving on the motorway, this is the first thing you can see and you can feel to be almost at home

The Sanctuary can be reached by car, but you can also walk under the monumental roofed arcade (Portico of Saint Luca, 3.8 km long) consisting of 666 arches, which was built in 1674-1793. It was meant to protect the icon of the black Madonna when, during a yearly procession, it is taken from here and carried to the Cathedral of San Pietro in the centre of Bologna. It stays there for one week, usually in the month of May, then it is carried back to the Sanctuary.
