Italy is very religious (roman catholic). Just in the Veneto region there are 2045 nodes + 532 polygons tagged as wayside crosses or shrines. That includes everything from a homemade little altar on the fence of a private home to a minute chapel-like shrine on a minor road crossing that most likely sits on top of a Roman shrine for the local water goddess.
My real question is: Am I correct that this is the accepted tagging after all, and that's it?
