The church features an exposed brick faรงade consisting of a projecting central body and two lower sides, divided by two flat lateral pilasters and a thick horizontal molding. The large churchyard accentuates the volume of the church and defines its profile. The bell tower rises over 40 meters on the left side of the temple, crowned by a cella enclosed by four single-lancet windows with corner pinnacles; the whole structure culminates in a Byzantine-style dome topped with a copper globe supporting a 2.80-meter-high cross.

Nice road, not to be taken during the hottest hours as it is exposed to the sun and mosquitoes

The trail runs in a very elevated position, on the edge of a plain that surrounds the outer part of a large bend of the Ticino River. The plain ends abruptly in a steep overhanging cliff caused by the erosion of the water at its base. The trail runs through greenery and flowers, in a panoramic position from which you can admire the branch from which it comes, and the one from which the water flows into the bend that flows at your feet. The large gravelly esplanades on the opposite bank inside the bend of the river are also veiled.

It would be a spectacular route but unfortunately lately, given the adverse weather, it is practically impassable along certain sections, and above all both the bridges and the fords are missing, which are now impassable. A big shame!

A ford that I consider quite dangerous if you are alone, as you have to lower your bike into the water and cross it, being careful not to slip on the stones
