Camedo

Camedo is part of the Swiss municipality of Centovalli[1] located in Canton Ticino (district of Locarno).

The bilateral agreement between the EU and Switzerland led to a reduction in the need of customs services located in Ribellasca (Camedo).

Outside, some crosses and tombstones testify to the custom of burying the dead around the church before the current cemetery was built (early decades of the 20th century).

The choir valley presents three scenes from the martyr's life, of discreet workmanship, made by the painter Giacomo Pedrazzi of Cerentino in 1862.

Inside, an altarpiece depicting St. Lawrence and a frontal in scagliola from the mid-eighteenth century signed by Giuseppe Maria Pancaldi .

In front of the oratory is the first of a series of chapels that represented a VI crucis up to Borgnone, most of which, however, were destroyed during the construction of the cantonal road.

[13] There is also a small guesthouse and restaurant “Osteria Grütli” offering good quality food and accommodation.
