FreeBRIEF Description
Located in the hamlet of the same name, the church of St. Lucia is one of the oldest in the area, with origins dating back to the 12th century. The building has two naves: the Romanesque one, the older of the two, facing the historic Valfin royal road, and the Renaissance one, added in the 15th-16th century.
Inside, precious frescoes are preserved, including the one from 1524 by Giovanni Andrea De Magistris, depicting the Madonna and various saints, and the pictorial cycle created in 1545 by Vincenzo De Barberis, which portrays episodes from the life of Saint Lucy and an Annunciation with strong doctrinal significance, in contrast to the ideas of the Reformation.
Also of great value is the 1611 altarpiece signed by Bartolomeo Roverio, known as il Genovesino.
