VARALLO SESIA

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 905 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VARALLO SESIA , a town of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of
Novara
 , from which it is 34 M. N.N.W. by
rail
 , situated in the valley of the Sesia, 1480 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901) 3330 (town); 4265 (commune). The churches of S Gaudenzio, S Maria delle Grazie and S Maria di Loreto, all contain works by Gaudenzio Ferrari (1471-1546), who was born in the neighbouring Val Duggia, while the Sacro Monte, a place of
pilgrimage
  rising above the town (1995 ft.), is approached by a path leading past
forty
 -five chapels containing groups of
life
 -size painted terra-cotta figures representing scenes from sacred history, with backgrounds in fresco (by Ferrari and others), to the
pilgrimage
 
church
  built by Pellegrino Tibaldi after 1578. In the works mentioned, as
Burckhardt
  remarks, Ferrari's whole development may be traced.
