Side by side, the two churches of San Grato. The older one dates back to the 17th century, modified in the 19th century with the addition of two side naves—certainly useful, but they gave the whole structure a "squeezed" proportion. It was replaced in 1970 by the new church: today it is deconsecrated and somewhat neglected, but it remains interesting. The new church is next to the older one, separated by a secular building: it combines a Romanesque-style overall structure with modern forms in the pillars and architraves supporting the portico. In my opinion, it's more interesting than beautiful, but to each their own. That said, if you're passing through the town of Cafasse (even if only to avoid the traffic on the main road), it's worth stopping by.

An 18th-century chapel, it was restored in a modern style in the 20th century, adding the bell tower but maintaining the general structure. Of particular interest is the mosaic depicting Saint Anthony the Abbot with his characteristic pig.

Panoramic view of Lanzo station, which from here, with the mountain backdrop and the curve of the tracks, appears like a vintage postcard.

This 13th-century church of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati di Santa Croce has been remodeled over the centuries, but retains its general 13th-century layout: in particular, the portal with a round arch, the semicircular rose window, and several small terracotta arches on the side. The exposed stone bell tower has a beautiful modern sundial (1995). It is located just outside the historic center, on Via Roma, and is worth a visit.

A beautiful church with very slender forms, featuring a portico supported by columns, a lateral bell tower, and a chapel next to the main entrance. It could use some renovation, but overall it's pleasant to look at. To get there, it's best to take the main road of Germagnano, which avoids the traffic on the main road.
