Credits

C’est le Guido de Sabellis qui, émerveillé par cette délicieuse vallée, donna le nom de sa province d’origine : le latium romain. Édifice reconstruit au cours du 3eme quart du XVIIIème siècle à l’emplacement d’une ancienne chapelle médiévale détruite en 1758 car jugée trop petite pour y accueillir tous les fidèles. Achevé en 1765. Il fut rapidement remplacé par une première chapelle dédiée à la vierge Marie, dont divers manuscrits notent que le frontispice extérieur était décoré de statues et de bas-reliefs. Démolie après 1758, une nouvelle chapelle, plus grande, est terminée en 1765. C’est grâce à ses nombreux pèlerinages, qui donnèrent au curé de Corbara, le titre d’archiprêtre de Notre-Dame du Latiu. Plusieurs cérémonies se déroulent tous les ans dans cette chapelle. Elle est inscrite au titre de l’inventaire des Monuments Historiques de France depuis 1985.


Chapel of the Nativity, known as the Chapel of Our Lady of Lazio

It was Guido de Sabellis who, amazed by this delightful valley, gave it the name of its province of origin: the Roman latium. The building was rebuilt in the third quarter of the 18th century on the site of an ancient medieval chapel that was destroyed in 1758 because it was considered too small to accommodate all the faithful. It was completed in 1765. It was quickly replaced by a first chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, whose various manuscripts note that the exterior frontispiece was decorated with statues and bas-reliefs. Demolished after 1758, a new, larger chapel was completed in 1765. It is thanks to its numerous pilgrimages, that gave the parish priest of Corbara the title of archpriest of Our Lady of Latiu. Several ceremonies take place every year in this chapel. It is registered in the inventory of the Historical Monuments of France since 1985.
