The scenic hill village of Montenero, already famous among tourists back in the eighteenth century due to the enchanting scenery, owes its name to its outline, which from far away appears dark and gloomy (nero, which means “black”).
Montenero is located about 10 kilometers away from the city of Livorno, and it is home to one of the most important Sanctuaries in Italy, dedicated to Maria delle Grazie, Patron Saint of Tuscany.
Built to celebrate a miracle performed by the Virgin Mary at the bottom of the hill, the Sanctuary of Montenero has become during the centuries a special pilgrimage place, which reflects the deep sense of faith and religious worship that is so strong among the sea populations such as, of course, the inhabitants of Livorno.
