Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Carmini
The church of Santa Maria dei Carmini, commonly called "i Carmini", was first built in 1125 with the title of Santa Maria Assunta. Given to the Carmelites, it was completely rebuilt from 1286 with the adjoining monastery. It was consecrated in 1348 and rededicated to St. Mary of Carmel. The brick façade with curved gables was rebuilt in the first decades of the 16th century by Sebastiano Mariani and has five sculptures, probably by Giovanni Buora d'Osteno. The presbytery and the other two apsidal chapels were also rebuilt by Mariani between 1507 and 1514, harmonising the Gothic with the new Renaissance style. The bell tower, which was in danger of collapse, was rebuilt by Giuseppe Sardi in 1688.
