Chapel Four 🏛The Annunciation Sacro Monte⛰

Chapel Four 🏛 The Annunciation Sacro Monte⛰

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.

The Brizio lake is a small natural basin surrounded by nature. Near the banks, not far from the beach, there are benches perfect for resting during the walk.

In the woods not far from Brinzio there is this large picnic area equipped with tables and benches where you can stop for a break from the walk.

A 1032m mountain well known among hikers and MTBikers. It can be reached via a loose dirt road which requires a good bike such as a gravel or a touring/trekking bike well equipped with excellent dirt tyres, otherwise it is better to avoid it. On its side there is a former porphyry quarry, the woods and the view certainly repay the challenge of the climb.

Not far from the Fonte di San Gemolo is the Chapel of San Gemolo. The Chapel has ancient origins but the last restoration, as well as the mosaic on an external wall, dates back to the 1960s. The facade does not face the road but the internal lawn, where there is another small fountain under a well. At the time of the construction of the Chapel, people had cried a miracle for the appearance of this second "miraculous" source of water and the rumor had spread that it was the head of San Gemolo, falling, that caused it to spring from nowhere.
