FreeSHORT DESCRIPTION
Adjacent to the parish church, the Ossuary of Cepina is an artistic and architectural gem from the eighteenth century. Built starting in 1719 with the contribution of the local community, it stands out for its extraordinary wrought-iron gate, unique of its kind, made by the master blacksmith Giuseppe Pini of Grosio.
The interior preserves an intense cycle of frescoes by Gian Pietro Ligari and Alessandro Valdani, which reflect on the meaning of life and death through powerful biblical scenes.
In 1933 it was turned into a baptistery, symbolizing the link between birth into new life and eternal rest. Also noteworthy are the stone tabernacle from 1579 and the fresco of the death of Saint Joseph, from the now-lost chapel of San Gaetano in Bormio. ACTIVITIES: Guided tours led by the volunteers of Pro Loco Valdisotto, to accompany you in discovering the places of worship and historical treasures that tell the story of the soul of our area.
