Description:

Already included in the list of churches of 1300, it was placed under the patronage of Saint Prosper.

It is a sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes; inside a chapel, it hosts a reproduction of the Lourdes cave, commissioned in 1923 by the archpriest of Campeggio, Don Augusto Bonafe', as a memorial to parishioners who fell during the First World War.

The chapel soon became a destination of pilgrims from the province of Bologna and neighbouring Tuscany.
