A group of inhabitants of Vanzone, in the Anzasca valley, welcomed Pope Leone the XII's appeal "to adom the top of the Italian mountains with monuments in praise of Christ the Redeemer, at the dawn of the new century" and decided to rise a Cross on top of the S. Martino Peak.
The works were finished in 1902 but the inauguration was made only on Aug. l2th, 1903. Since then, every five years this anniversary is remembered by the faithful who climb up to the top where Mass is celebrated.
