    The foundation stone of the building was laid on 25 March 1605, the day on which the Annunciation is celebrated. The statue of the Virgin, placed in front of a kneeler, and the statue of the Archangel Gabriel, donated by the municipality of Orta, are the work of Cristoforo Prestinari (1610), who left his signature and the date on the base of the Archangel. In this room, the appearance of a Lombardy dwelling at the beginning of the 17th century has been recreated. It contains a carved and gilded bed, bellows for the fireplace, sideboard and earthenware, as well as objects of everyday use.
