The Church of the Purification of the Virgin Mary is the parish church of Massino Visconti in the Province and Diocese of Novara. It is part of the Vergante pastoral unit. The first mention of a Catholic church in Massino dates back to 887. The new church was built in the second half of the 16th century with three naves and was given the title of parish church during the same period, after the Church of San Michele was severely damaged by a landslide. In the first half of the 19th century, the old Romanesque bell tower was demolished and replaced with a new tower. The church's striking, west-facing façade consists of three volumes interrupted by pilasters: the main body, characterized by the main portal, is preceded by a small portico opening into a serliana in the center, while the two side wings have secondary entrances. Attached to the parish church is the stone bell tower with a square floor plan. Its cell has a single-lancet window on each side, protected by a balustrade, and is crowned by a pyramidal spire resting on a drum with an octagonal base. The interior of the building is divided into three naves, overlooking which the side chapels face. Pillars and columns support round arches, above which runs the molded and projecting entablature, upon which the vaults rest. At the end of the hall is the presbytery, raised a few steps, bordered by balustrades and housing the main altar. Several valuable works have been preserved here, including the 16th-century frescoes depicting Saint Mary of the Assumption and the Coronation of Mary, as well as the paintings on the vaults depicting the Doctors of the Church and the symbols of the Evangelists. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_della_Purificazione_di_Maria_Vergine_(Massino_Visconti)

A maze of paths through the marshes of the Bruschera oasis with splendid views of the lake.

Beyond the church, which may or may not be of interest, from here there is one of the most beautiful views of the lake.

From Armeno when you arrive at the entrance to Coiromonte do not go straight into the town but continue on the road on the left along the "circonvallazione" and prepare yourself for a good climb.
