The Church of Madonna della Cinturalies is located just north of Massino. It was constructed in 1499 on the ruins of a much earlier church. Though the church is not particularly impressive to look at from outside it holds many surprises. All around the church you will find cells for the monks who tended the church. These are from the 13th Century and many of them still contain their original frescoes on the walls and ceilings and are quite exquisite. This area is listed as one of Novara province’s architectural treasures.
