The Shrine of Santa Maria della Steccata is a Greek-cross design Renaissance church in central Parma, Italy. The name derives from the fence or steccato used to corral the numerous devotees who visited a venerated image of the Madonna. A Nursing Madonna is enshrined was crowned on 27 May 1601 by a Marian fanatic and devotee, Fray Giacomo di Forli of the Capuchin order. Pope Benedict XVI issued a Pontifical decree which raised the Marian sanctuary to the status of Basilica on 9 February 2008.
