The church of San Tomaso stands out for being reported by local tradition as an "Aula Teodolindae", therefore of very ancient foundation, and stands on a steep promontory overlooking the Caurgola Valley, a tributary of the Telo di Argegno river.
This study, on the basis of previous ones, presents an unprecedented evolution of the current building which makes use of reconstructions of the local history and of the territory between Lario and Cerasio, to demonstrate also by means of the surveys carried out by the University of Milan in 2010, that the area is actually affected by the presence of Queen Teodolinda.
The study provides clear elements on the primitive construction and on the characteristic "tower of Theodelinda" in the late Roman period and on a Lombard chapel (included in the current building). It also increases knowledge of the historical figures that emerge throughout local history with multiple references to places and works in the Comacino area between Lario and Ceresio.
In particular, it expands devotional knowledge through photographic documentation and quotations of texts, on artistic works, civil and religious personalities, who have given importance to the territory.
