  ### Church of Sant'Eusebio
  
  The parish church, situated at the centre of the village, is dedicated to Saint Eusebio, Vercelli's bishop in the 4th century, and the Maccabees. It was extended during the 17th century. On the porch is a large mural representing the Virgin of Mercy.
  
  The plan is on a Latin cross with three chapels; the first contains the baptismal font; the second, located behind the pulpit, has an altar dedicated to the Lady of the Rosary, with statues of Saint Sebastian and Saint Roch at each side. These saints were anciently prayed to protect the village from epidemics. The third chapel is now dedicated to Saint Eusebius.
