Church of Sant´Orso

A legend attributes the choice of the church site to divine will. In the past, the inhabitants had to go to mass in a remote chapel and, in winter, the path was icy. They decided to build a church in a hamlet on the right bank of the torrent, but the relics brought to the future site disappeared several times and were each time found on the left bank. The inhabitants concluded that it was a divine intervention and finally built the church near the centre of the village.
