"The courage to leave their own homecountry and family, both for need and desire of adventure, the fear of the far unknown, and the hope to have the chance to come back one day... for centuries and decades, for generations of people from Biella and Piedmont, migrated abroad, the Sanctuary of Oropa has remained a landmark both for those who still have relatives here, or know to have some, but no way to find them, or those who, unfortunately, have none left."
