    The statue dedicated to the "Viper Priest" Don Amedeo Ruscetta in the parvis of the parish church of Croveo. In one hand a viper and in the other the "stick" with which he taught parishioners how to catch reptiles safely in the churchyard after Sunday Mass. The captured vipers were then sent to the Serotherapy Institute of Milan which, with the extracted venom, prepared the antidote serum to be injected in case of a viper bite. This practice represented a small source of income for the viper parishioners.
