Chiesa

Madonna Dei Ceppi

Loc. Morbia

The legend has handed down to us that this church, exactly dedicated to the Visitation of the Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth but commonly called the Madonna dei Ceppi, in ancient times it was the “parish church”. The building does not represent any particular artistic aspect, except for the marble statue of the Madonna with the Child that seems to date back to the 15th century.

Chiesa

San Rocco

Loc. San Rocco

Once owned by the noble Silva family, it was built between 1593 and 1642. Inside, there are two side altars decorated with fine stuccos. In the chapel on the left, the canvas that takes up the same subject as the fresco depicting the Pietà with San Rocco from the 17th century which is located behind the main altar by an unknown but skilled painter. In the chapel on the right, a stucco by the sculptor Cesare Bazzoni, a native of Lezzeno in 1816, many of whose works are found in the cemetery.

Oratorio

Madonna delle Grazie

Loc. Bagnana

It is located in Bagnana and was built at the end of the 19th century by developing a small chapel that already existed in 1593. The neoclassical-style facade is beautiful and clean, while inside, behind the current altarpiece, there are still traces of the ancient fresco.

Chiesa

di Sant Antonio

Loc. Sormazzana

The church of Sant Antonio dates back, in its present form, to the 17th century while the bell tower was rebuilt, elevated or only restored in 1886 as can be read in the same under the roof. Inside there is a seventeenth-century altar with a frontal painted on leather depicting Saint Anthony. From here come the two large tempera paintings depicting the Adoration of the Magi and that of the Shepherds currently hanging in the parish church.
