Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo Bollengo

The main feature of this sacred building is the peculiarity of the construction of the bell tower adjacent to the façade. The term used to indicate this construction technique is Clocher-porche; typical of French taste, the architectural model (very rare in Italy), sees the greatest concentration of constructions in the Canavese area, which has always been a crossroads between the borders of the Po Valley and beyond the Alps. The style of the bell towers on the façade derives from the Carolingian églises-porche and the German westwerk. In any case, the clocher-porche in the Canavese area can only be identified by the particularity of the bell tower, which, set on the axis of the façade, forms the main entrance to the church through a small vaulted space.
