Dongo, Peglio, Livo: churches and museums
Dongo, Peglio and Livo are all small towns that can be visited starting from the B&B “Villa Evelina”. The first village is famous for the Palazzo Manzo, for the Museum of the end of the war and for the churches of Santa Maria in Martinico and San Gottardo. The first was built by the architect Gilardoni in 1824 and is still the symbol of art during the Napoleonic period. The Museum of the end of the war, on the other hand, shows to those who visit it, all the remains of the fascist period and the Resistance.
Art lovers, on the other hand, can visit the Chiesa di Santa Maria in Martinico if they want to enjoy fantastic frescoes from the 11th century. The church of San Gottardo dates back to the same period but it is famous above all for its connection with the feast of the homonymous Saint, which is held in May.
