Oratorio della Santissima Trinità

The Oratorio della Santissima Trinità is a church with a rectangular floor plan and a single nave divided into four sections that lead to the apse. The interior ends with an apse containing a masonry basin.

The building dates from the 11th century when Cluniac monks were active in northern Italy and spread the worship of the Holy Trinity. This religious movement shaped the church landscape of the region significantly.

The interior walls display frescoes from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, created by the Cagnola workshop from Novara. These painted scenes represent important examples of local artistic tradition during that period.

The building stands about two kilometers north of Momo town center, along regional road 229 toward Borgomanero. Its location outside the village makes it relatively easy to reach by car.

Excavations during the 1982 restoration revealed archaeological finds showing that this site held sacred meaning during Celtic times. The discoveries suggest that the land had spiritual importance long before its Christian use.
