Very beautiful mountain village to visit.

Gorgeous mountain village, the climb to get there is very easy, traffic is practically non-existent.

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'.

Varallo, located in the Sesia basin, is the historical and cultural capital of the Valsesia mountain valley. The historic center on the shore is mainly dominated by the Sacro Monte – UNESCO World Heritage.
