The Zermeiggern Chapel also serves as a memorial site where those who died in the Mattmark disaster are commemorated.

Saint John the Baptist (San Giovanni Battista), to whom this church was dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth. After the announcement of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The memorial day of San Giovanni Battista in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Built in the eighteenth century, it is a single-span, hump-backed bridge, and measures approximately 18 metres in length.

The bridge was built in 1574 by Count Borromeo, probably to replace a previous one destroyed by a flood of the Anza. https://www.comune.vanzoneconsancarlo.vb.it/it-it/vivere-il-comune/cosa-vedere/ponte-pertuso-sec-xv-24250-1-97f48858d7f624d09375a6ab90bc3f15

The houses in the villages of Pecetto Inferiore and Superiore, a hamlet of Macugnaga, are mostly in Walser style.

Macugnaga is an alpine village located at the foot of the imposing eastern face of Monte Rosa. It was founded in the 13th century by the Walser, a people of German origin from the Swiss canton of Valais. Walser culture and traditions are still very much alive today in Macugnaga and are reflected in the architecture of the houses, in the traditional costumes worn by the women of the town on special occasions such as the San Bernardo fair and in the typical "Dorf", a small nucleus of houses dating back to the 13th century.
