The parish church of Sant'Antonio Abate in Quarona (VC), consecrated in 1667, is a seventeenth-century building with a single nave and a five-light pronaos on Corso P. Rolandi

The historic center of Varallo, the heart of Valsesia, is a charming medieval village with 18th-century influences, famous for the UNESCO-listed Sacro Monte, the "Gaudenziana Wall" in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and the Palazzo dei Musei.

The Ponte della Gula, located in Varallo Sesia in the Val Mastallone, is an ancient medieval humpbacked stone structure, suspended about 30-35 meters above the stream.

She's NOT a girl with a broom! She's Blessed Panacea, patron saint of Valsesia, originally from Quarona and martyred on the hills outside the town, still buried in Ghemme in the great Antonellian chapel. And that's not a broom, but a shepherdess' crook.

The patronage of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of LORETO. This is one of the large and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. Unlike the other two places mentioned, however, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can show something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents - not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament - are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common memorial day in the calendar of saints is July 26). When the time of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, crusaders probably dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and brought it to Europe. But this very sober assumption is contradicted by a much more interesting legend: According to it, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house over the Mediterranean.

A place of worship and prayer.

The chapel of the Madonna di Loreto stands in an isolated position upon entering Varallo. It is of particular artistic interest for the elegance of its Renaissance architecture and for the extensive external and internal decorative apparatus. Some of these decorations are the work of Gaudenzio Ferrari, executed between 1514 and 1521.
