The end of activities

In 1426, with the death of the parish priest Perino De Bovis di Santià, the parish was abolished and the land assigned to the Chapter of Ivrea Cathedral, which appointed a priest to help the parish priest of Bollengo. In time, the priest was replaced by a hermit, who had the task of guarding the building, hosting pilgrims, assisting the parish priest and going to the churches of the diocese to ask for offerings.
