Santuario Sant'Ignazio, Pessinetto

The Santuario Sant'Ignazio is a Neoclassic-style, Roman Catholic sanctuary church located atop a mountain looming over the Valli di Lanzo, and within the town limits of Pessinetto, in the Metropolitan City of Turin, region of Piedmont, Italy.

The official site of the sanctuary states that in 1626, wolf pack attacked both some flocks of sheep and the children herding them.

Putatively a novena, including prayers to the recently canonized Ignatius of Loyola was thought to have caused the wolves to leave.

Putatively, in 1630 the Saint himself miraculously appeared before a peasant girl and her husband at the site of the sanctuary.
