Oratorio di San Giovanni Nepomuceno

The Oratory located in the main square of Ramponio was built in 1724, on behalf of the Bolla family, by the architect Domenica Rapa. The Baroque style façade features a broken triangular pediment from whose sides the two side chapels protrude. The structure of the building is in plastered and painted masonry, with a stone plinth on the main façade and a stone plinth on the lateral ones. The interior, with a single nave, features stuccoes attributed to Diego Francesco Carloni and collaborators and valuable frescoes (remember the canvas depicting Saint Anne attributed to Giulio Quaglio and a fresco above the high altar portraying the master of San Giovanni, attributed to the Painter Giosuè Scotti). A valuable eighteenth-century wardrobe with wooden inlays I is preserved in the sacristy.
