Church of San Carlo - (hamlet Travisa)
The small church, positioned half way up the mountain between Santa Croce and Gravedona is dedicated to St. Carlo Borromeo who was the main collaborator of the Council of Trento. It was built in XVII century.
Inside, over the high alter are placed an alter piece of "St. Carlo in Glory" and paintings depicting "The Annunciation" and "St. Francis" and "St. Anthony".
On the left alter we find a painting of the "Madonna of Loreto between St. Vincent and St. Francis" and a polycrome tabernacle. On the right alter some frescos which recall the "Crucifiction with Saints Bartholomew and Rosalia" dated 1640, "St. Rosalia pleading with God through the Madonna and St. Joseph", and the "Madonna of the Rosary with the Saints" of a lombard school. These are of the second quarter of the XVII century.
Church of Santi Nabore e Felice - (hamlet Negrana)
Unfortunately there is very little information about this small chapel of Negrana dedicated to the Saints Narbore and Felice.
It is remembered in the accounts of the Pastoral Visits of the Como Bishops Bonomi and Ninguarda. The former describes the state of poverty in which the people of the hamlet lived and accused the population of poor religeous knowledge.
The latter on the other hand made note of the paintings, which now no longer exist, of the "Apostles" on the absidal wall whose iconographic aspect must have underlined the pictoral style used in the Alto Lario region in the XVI century.
Chapel of San Lorenzo - (hamlet Segna)
The small hamlet which still retains ancient characteristics, overlooks Gravedona and the lake. Its houses are clustered closely around the chapel whose frescos on the apse are mentioned by Bishop Ninguarda during his pastoral visit in 1593.
"The Crowning of the Holy Virgin surrounded by St. Anthony, St. Vincent, St. Laurence and St. Nicholas of Tolentino" are by Giovanni Andrea De Magistris. This work, as also the "Madonna with Child between St. Rocco and St. Sebastian", was commissioned most probably during an epidemic of plague.
Church of San. Martino (hamlet Traversa)
"The curia, paid visit to the church and chapel of St. Martin in the Commune of Traversa far apart from its mother Gravedona by almost one and a half miles of mountainous road". This is how the canon delegated in 1593 by Bishop Ninguarda to visit the church of Traversa begins his description. Still now, as then dedicated to St. Martin, in it are found frescos with "St. Martin and other Saints and the Blessed Virgin":
In 1682, according to an inscription of the portal, the building was completely rebuilt to its present form. Restored and painted white, it stands out as soon as one makes his way up the road halfway up the mountain into the valley of Liro, calling forth feelings of incontamination and inspiring spiritual candour, purity and silence.
Church of Santa Croce (hamlet Naro)
The small church is recorded for the first time in a pastoral visit by Volpi Bonomi in 1578 and later by Ninguarda in 1593.
It rises high up above Gravedona, hidden among the boughs of chestnut trees and beeches, immersed in the intense tranquillity of greenness.
It is a simple church with paintings of St. Rosalia and St. Vincent on the face of the outside pilars. Inside, the presbytary was frescoed by Sigismondo De Magistri in 1529. The frescos depict a typical "Theophany", "The Everlasting Father among the Evangelists", "The Apostles" and "The Annunciation".
On the left wall one discerns a fresco of the "Madonna among the Saints", with signs of punching at the bottom which imitate the decorations on leather, typical of Giovannino da Sondalo between XV and XVI centuries. Other frescos ("St. Anthony, St. Sebastian, St. Rocco, St. Lucia"), very poor and diseased which testify events tied to epidemics.
