ORATORY OF THE MADONNA OF LORETO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n \n\n

On the outskirts of Varallo<\/strong><\/a>, in the hamlet of Roccapietra, lies a small artistic jewel. The Oratory of Our Lady of Loreto<\/strong> stands out against a backdrop of rock faces and woods. It is particularly interesting from an artistic point of view for its Renaissance architecture and extensive external and internal decoration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appearance of this building underwent considerable changes in the 16th century, and an elegant Renaissance-style loggia was added to the original chapel. The marvellous iconographic apparatus can be recognised as the work of Gaudenzio Ferrari<\/strong>, who worked on it between 1514 and 1521. Already in the external lunette above the entrance door, one can admire a Nativity by Gaudenzio Ferrari, whose soft and gentle style is a distinctive trait of the Valsesian master. Inside the chapel there is a cycle of frescoes dedicated to the life of the Blessed Virgin, while above the altar, in a niche, there is a sculpture of the Madonna of Milk with two frescoes of the Annunciation beside it, all works by Ferrari.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
