The Tempietto di Sant’Antonio built between 1575 and 1578, was erected in honour of the Saint who came here to evangelise the citizens, somewhat against their will. Legend has it that the moment the Tempietto was completed, the Saint performed a miracle. It is said the mule of Bonvillo, supposedly the representative of the Patarine heretics, was hungry after not eating for several days and refused to eat the barley offered but knelt before the sacred host. The Cupola, decorated with figures of angels and an impressive fresco by Achille Funi is quite stunning.
