The piece that stays with you is a Flagellation of Christ of 1561, painted on glass. It hangs in the parish museum, opened in 1983 inside the church of San Vincenzo, a Romanesque building of the eleventh and twelfth centuries that is also the oldest monument in town.
What to see
The cases hold reliquaries, vestments and processional crosses, among them a silver processional cross of Savoyard make from the second half of the fifteenth century, an embroidered chasuble cross showing the Coronation of the Virgin and a brass basin in Flemish-Rhenish style of the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The treasury also includes two notable wooden sculptures: a polychrome Saint Maurice of the early fifteenth century, brought from the church of the same name in the hamlet of Moron, and a Madonna and Child carved in the second half of the fourteenth century.
Visiting
The museum is seen together with the church, in the centre of town: a small collection, the kind you take in within half an hour, but with a few pieces that a larger museum would put in the front row.
Our editors' tip
Look at the Flagellation against the light if you can: painting on glass only explains itself when the light passes through it. And give the church a look, since it keeps a pre-Romanesque crypt.
