    The country oratory is among the oldest in Lombardy. It is dated to the 5th-6th century, as the form of the Roman foot (29.6 cm) often occurs. The stratification of frescoes in the apse and in the triumphal arch is the result of subsequent interventions: the oldest date back to the Byzantine period. The work of greatest interest is the Two-Faced Janus, in ocher, dating back to the 8th century: it was probably part of a lost allegory of the months. The crucifixion dates back to the 15th century and recalls the one in the church of Bizzozzero.
