Church of Our Lady of Victory (Sanctuary of the Madonna di Montalto) and the miracle of the apparition of the White Lady

Numerous miraculous interventions are linked to the Madonna, which historians also recount. We recall the apparition of the White Lady on Colle della Caperrina during the War of the Vespers, who, with her white cloak, defended the city walls from Angevin attacks. Also noteworthy is the miraculous flight, also on Colle della Caperrina, of a dove to the site where the Madonna wanted a sanctuary built. There are also tales of the Virgin's apparition, around the 15th century, in the countryside of Curcuraci , a village near Messina, defending the city from the wrath of her Son. Not to mention the repeated and miraculous arrival of vessels laden with grain during various famines, some of which were thanks to the intercession of Saint Albert of Carmel . Also noteworthy are the miraculous arrivals by sea of ​​the icons of the Madonna of Dinnamare and the Madonna della Scala. (Source: http://www.madonnadellalettera.it)
