    It was built and decorated between 1640 and 1661, so that the bishop of the diocese saw it complete with frescoes and sculptures during a pastoral visit in 1661. The architecture is reminiscent of the Sacro Monte of Varese. The paintings are the work of the Milanese brothers Carlo Francesco and Giuseppe Nuvolone (1654). The statues by Antonio Pino da Bellagio from Como show Francesco naked among the thornbushes of a rose garden, where he took refuge to resist the temptations of the flesh; an angel who draws him back; on the left grotesque devils are depicted daring to flee, while on the right a group of angels show the saint the way to the church of Portiuncola.
