Attractions

  • Church of San Bartolomeo in Bannio was certainly one of the first to break away from San Vincenzo di Pieve Vergonte as early as the 10th century , a church that originated in the entire lower Ossola Valley and became the driving center of Christianity in the Anzasca Valley. In a side chapel of the church there is a large bronze crucifix, an expression of Flemish art of the 16th century. The elegant bell tower, a national monument, dates from 1592.
  • The pilgrimage church of Madonna della Neve, built between 1618 and 1622, is linked to the activity of the Milizia Tradizionale , whose festival is celebrated on August 5th.
  • Oratory of San Bernardo in the district of San Bernardo dates from the 17th century.
  • Sanctuary of Sant'Antonio da Padova in Anzino has an interesting history. It is already known as the Oratory of Saint Bernard of Menthon and since 1640 as the parish church of Anzino, the year the parish was founded, and later became the sanctuary of Saint Anthony of Padua , after an altarpiece with the apparition of the child Jesus in 1669 to Saint Anthony had arrived.
