Sacred art and architectural history in Arconate

It preserves paintings titled “Battesimo di Cristo”, “San Carlo”, “Santa Teresa d'Avila” and “Sant'Antonio da Padova”. As part of a decoration project begun in 1946, Giovanni Garavaglia was commissioned to create the figurative frescoes in the apse and nave; Pietro Colombo from Arconate took responsibility for the decorative part.

The Santuario di Maria Nascente was built in 1616 in place of an older Marian chapel and expanded in 1749 by the Arconati-Visconti family. The Pala Arconati is a wooden panel painting of the Madonna and Child from 1536. It was created by an unknown artist and is attributed to the school of Bernardino Luini; it is kept in the Palazzo Taverna. The Cappella di Sant'Antoni Abate is held in particularly great veneration on 17 January, its annual feast day. The Palazzo Arconati is a country residence whose construction dates back to the 15th century. The Chiesa di Santa Maria Bambina has a single-nave layout with a polygonal choir. The bays in the area intended for the congregation are vaulted with cross vaults, while the presbytery bay has a spherical dome.
