Saint Marcello church in Paruzzaro

The Church of San Marcello features a simple gabled facade with bare stone walls and pebbles, complemented by a tall, slender bell tower.

The church's first documentation dates to 1034, with records from 1240 confirming the presence of a permanent priest at the establishment.

The interior walls display extensive frescoes from the 14th and 15th centuries, including scenes of Jesus's life and a notable Madonna del Latte by Giovanni Antonio Merli.

The church, located at the edge of Paruzzaro's built area, now stands within a cemetery complex and maintains regular opening hours for visitors.

Research indicates that the original frescoes extend below the current floor level, suggesting multiple architectural modifications throughout the centuries.
