23 Vertova At Semonte the Parish church of San Bernar- dino (XVIII century) contains three valuable altar- pieces by the Manni brothers. The small district is connected to the capital by the San Carlo Bridge (XV century), its ancient image also appears on the municipal coat of arms. Verteva is full of medieval fortified buildings and tower-houses dominated by the Parish church of Santa Maria Assunta which sits on an elevated position. Mention has been made of this church since the XIII century and it was almost completely renovated as from 1690, following a plan by Gian Battista Quadrio. The church is divided into three naves and houses a wooden crucifix from 1725, considered to be a masterpiece by Andrea Fantoni. Each year this touching piece of sculpture is the main exhibit in the famous Good Friday Play. In the upper part of the town there is the Municipal Art Gallery, which holds a noteworthy collection of modern art. Near the inhabited area there is the start of a pleasant nature trail that winds its way through the unpolluted woods in the Vertova Valley accompanied by the gargling sound of flowing streams and many natural water sources. Colzate The town lies beneath the gaze of the Shrine of San Patrizio, which peers over a cliff overlooking the valley. Ancient recollections clarify the dedication to the Irish saint, as the complex appears to have been founded in the XI century 18. Vertova, Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta 19.

24 by Irish merchants who had come to the valley to purchase wool cloth. The shrine has been renovated and extended various times and encloses a simple fifteenth century church decorated with frescoes depicting episodes in the life of Saint Patrick and stories from the life of Christ. The large church is on the side of the small vestry, it was built between the XVI and XVII centuries and has baroque shapes and ornaments. A lovely portico runs along the three sides of the shrine, which was finished in 1707. At the fulcrum of the residential area is the ancient Parish church of San Maurizio, built after the year 1000 and modernised during the 1700’s. Inside, the sculpture is a Fantoni “Pietà” (XVII century), while the sixteenth century rusticated ashlar bell tower rises from the side of the building. Casnigo In the Arch-presbyterial Church of San Giovanni Battista there is an extraordinary apse over the high altar, a one-of-a-kind due to the decorative nature of its structure. The decorations have a great artistic value, they were painted from the 1400’s to the 1500’s 20. Casnigo, the Shrine of the Madonna of Erbia on the external walls of the Casa del Suffragio, an XV century building found beside the parish church. Mention must also be made of the shrines dedicated to Mary, which were built at different times. The first of these, dedicated to the Santissima Trinità (Holy Trinity), is located on the side of Mount Farnio and has a gracious seventeenth century portico that still shows traces of frescoes – inside there are other votive frescoes and a bas-relief dating from the XVI century; the second is the Shrine of Madonna d’Erbia, built in the place with the same name between the XVIII and XIX centuries and venerated as the sacred receptacle of an image of the Madonna that is considered to be miraculous.
