The first mention of the chapel dates back to 1375, two Renowned Piedmontese Italian painters at the time are called in order to create the decorations of the interior walls:
Giovani Baleison who will adorn the heart and then Giovani Canavesio for the whole of the nave. A total of 225m2 of frescoes will be created of remarkable realism and quality.
A true comic strip, which will transport the visitor from the birth of Mary to her Assumption, the passion of Christ, the hanging of Judas and a spectacular Last Judgment of 35m2.
An inauguration of the paintings will take place on October 12, 1492...
