The San Bartolomeo in Montibus stands alone halfway between Cinzago and Formine. Anyone who is on the way up from Cinzago to Formine can be happy: from now on it is downhill. The church has the floor plan of a Latin cross. Inside there are important paintings from the 16th century. Due to its isolated location near pastures and alpine meadows, it was considered the church of farmers and alpine shepherds. Every year in August the Bartholomew Festival takes place, which is organized by the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. Next to the church there is a small cemetery enclosed by a wall. The inhabitants of Formine found their final resting place in this cemetery.
