Carcegna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carcegna is a small village near Lake Orta, at an altitude of 490m in the Piedmont, Italy. Administratively a frazione of the commune of Miasino, it has 260 inhabitants, called Carcegnesi. Its patron saint is San Pietro, celebrated on 29 June.
Archaeological excavations have brought to light Gaulish, Gallo-Roman and Etruscan rests. In the outskirts of the village there are ruins of a fortification, probably of Lombard origin.
The village is mentioned in the "Liber Cleri" as dependent of the parish church of San Giulio in 1133.
The current church was built in 1661 over the foundations of the preceding Romanesque one. It has paintings by Luigi Scaramozza, Giorgio Bonola and Federico Bianchi, and frescos by Luca Rossetti.
