Typical rural village on the Magadino Plain, two kilometres from Lake Maggiore. Luxuriant countryside, chestnut woods still intact, delightful and peaceful clearings: a constant invitation to relaxation and meditation. Worth considering Not much in common with the typical, traditional touristic resorts; however, it offers other worthwhile alternatives: Possibility of long walks or bike rides Traffic-free network of footpaths and agricultural roads zona industriale, con fattorie e aziende agricole Lovely parish church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and beautiful steeple with the cross of the Order of Malta. Inside there is a painting by Vanoni (1872) and, behind the altar, a valuable painting by Johannes Dobler representing the crucified Jesus with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Lawrence at his sides (1698).
