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'.

Good Starting Point🚶for an Excursion to Masera🏘️and Mountains⛰️in the Surroundings..in the Photos📷 with the Bunch of Grapes🍇 decorated for the Recurring Festival.

Roads and railway bridge over the Toce

In late autumn there is often maintenance work along the cycle path and therefore some sections are closed off

This small hamlet at the foot of the Vigezzo Valley is worth a visit. Note the presence of the ancient oratory of Sant'Abbondio built on a rock and characterized by its recently restored 11th century Romanesque bell tower.
