Madonna di Campagna, Renaissance church in Pallanza, Verbania, Italy
Description
Madonna di Campagna is a Renaissance church in Pallanza with an octagonal drum, a loggia, and a granite facade topped by a bell tower. Inside, the space is divided into three naves defined by this distinctive architectural design.
History
This church was built over an earlier Romanesque building called Sancta Maria de Egro dating from the 11th century. The original bell tower and wall fragments from that earlier structure remain standing today.
Culture
The Chapel of Madonna delle Grazie holds a 14th-century fresco showing Madonna del Latte and paintings by Camillo Procaccini featuring Marian symbols. These works show how devotion to Mary was expressed through art across different periods in this place.
Practical
The church is surrounded by a 17th-century seminary building to the north and an 18th-century ossuary with iron grilles to the south. These adjacent structures are part of the place and shape its overall appearance.
