      Beautiful chapel church dedicated to the Madonna dei baler, a dialect term that indicates chestnuts cooked in water; the dedication, which took place around 1830, was desired by the inhabitants of Riviano who survived a serious famine by feeding on the chestnuts of the area; the environment houses a nineteenth-century wooden statue depicting the Madonna dei baler.

        Beautiful church located in a fantastic setting surrounded by centuries-old oak trees.
