Bologna - Sanctuary of San Luca by night
The basilica of the Madonna of San Luca is located on a hilltop south-west of Bologna in central Italy.
Legend has it that the icon of the Madonna was brought to the hill by a Greek pilgrim named Theocolus, who had purchased it near Constantinople (the current Istanbul) and was told it was painted by the evangelist Luke. Hence the picture is called the Madonna of Saint Luke.
