Madonna del Latte, Religious oratory in Gionzana, Novara, Italy.
The Oratorio della Madonna del Latte features 15th-century frescoes depicting saints, the Virgin with Child, and scenes from Christ's life on its walls.
Originally named Santa Maria della Scaglia, the oratory served as a place of prayer for local farmers on the Tettoni noble family lands during the 14th century.
The paintings by Tommaso Cagnoli and Daniele De Bosis represent the artistic tradition of Novara through depictions of religious figures and biblical narratives.
The oratory maintains open access throughout the day and underwent extensive restoration work, completing both interior and exterior renovations in September 2011.
The name 'Madonna del Latte' originates from Bishop Ferdinando Taverna's 1618 pastoral visit, noting a fresco of the Virgin nursing the Child.
