San Benedetto and San Bernardino
TWO ANCIENT CHURCHES WHICH HAVE NOW DISAPPEARED

The exact location of these two churches, which have survived in memory, is unknown.

It is presumed that they were located to the southwest of the inhabited area, towards the territory of Ozegna.

The existence of the Church of San Benedetto is certified in 1329, and is even confirmed, although described as being "entirely dilapidated", during the pastoral visit of Monsignor Ceva in 1619.

In 1652 Monsignor Asinari defines it as "quite elegant and spacious", "restored" by the Count Flaminio San Martino of Agliè.

The Church of San Bernardino, which was situated near the inhabited area, to the south of spinnery, was in a good state in 1652. It had its own liturgical furnishings, with a canvas depicting Jesus on the cross in the interior, along with Our Lady, Magdalene, Bernard, Anthony and Catherine.

The existence of the building was confirmed once again in 1729, during the pastoral visits of Monsignor De Nicola, who, having seen its state of degradation, ordered its demolition.
