San Secondo

The church features three naves supported by rectangular pillars, with two remaining apses containing narrow windows and decorative stone arches beneath the eaves.

The original structure, constructed by Benedictine monks, underwent significant expansion during the first half of the 11th century to reach its current dimensions.

The church walls contain a 13th or 14th-century fresco depicting the Crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and Saint John at the base of the bell tower.

Located near the Serra d'Ivrea and the Bose monastic community, the church stands in an open clearing within the Magnano municipality.

The bell tower displays different architectural elements across its levels, with compact lower sections featuring arrow slits and upper sections adorned with triple-arched windows.
