Tips

Gabriele Vecchi

The miracle of Don Dresco, a stonemason priest.
The Oratory of the Immaculate Conception in Crego, in addition to being located in one of the most suggestive spots of the Antigorio valley, has a peculiarity that makes it unique in its kind. It was built with his strong hands in the nineteenth century by a priest, Don Lorenzo Dresco. Don Lorenzo almost always did everything by himself, even the slender colonnade rough-hewn in the granite with blows of a chisel. He did it both because he was passionate about the work of the magutt, and because he was short of money like many of his colleagues in that Ossola not yet colonized by the Milanese.
