Getting around
The Oratorio di Santo Stefano is a noble chapel built in 1369 at the behest of Count Stefano Porro; it has an interesting cycle of frescoes on the legend of Santo Stefano (43 panels that can be read starting from the left to the right, giving your back to the altar). "The Crucifixion" by Anovelo da Imbonate and the "Donation of the chapel to Santo Stefano" on the right of the apse are also of considerable interest. The oratory is a single nave church with a raised presbytery and a triumphal arch between the two areas.
The altar is preceded by 2 steps (16 cm high each); there are chairs (seat height: 45 cm).
