Church dedicated to St. Germano, whose construction dates back to the end of the 12th century and was completed in 1300, replacing an ancient parish church present in Varzi as early as 700 AD. Abandoned for centuries, it was revived thanks to the arrival of the Capuchin friars, who built a convent in 1623.
