Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso

From the square in front of the church, called "the Cusio's balcony", there is a great view on the lake, the Mottarone, the Alps and the Novara area.

Thanks to the many graces occurred, it was decided to build a church as a substitute for the small chapel.

The present complex was promoted by the local Pietro Paolo Minola, who received a grace and decided in 1706 to finance the construction of a new sanctuary.

The church has a Greek cross design in a Baroque style with two lateral altars; the architecture and the frescos were made by Lorenzo Peracino.

The altarpiece, coming from the old sanctuary, is a panel painting by Fermo Stella and represents the Pietà.
