Why go

The church of Santi Eusebio e Vittore at Peglio, above Gravedona, has frescoes by the Fiammenghino and seventeenth-century stucco work.

It stands on a knoll with a portico, ossuary, rectory and cemetery. Building work began in 1607 and the roof was complete by 1613; decoration continued in later centuries. The chapel of Saint Rosalia recalls the upper lake emigrants' links with Palermo. Above the entrance is the Antegnati organ, with two painted shutters.

  • The bell tower on its knoll with the whole upper lake below.
  • The chapel of Santa Rosalia, linked to the emigrants to Sicily, and the Antegnati organ.

Getting there

  • On the road that climbs from Gravedona to Peglio, on the knoll just before the village.
