One of my hobbies is taking photographs of places that are sacred (or at least considered to be).

The parish church of Brunate is dedicated to the patron Saint Andrew Apostle and is located in Piazza della Chiesa.
His earliest records date back to the fourteenth century, together with the annexed monastery today demolished; lastly expanded between 1914 and 1927 (hence the presence of two facades)…
The construction works, started under the supervision of Lorenzo degli Spazzi di Laino, did not finish until 1770 with the completion of the Rococo cupola by Filippo Juvarra. The imposing west front was built between 1457 and 1498 and features a rose window and a portal between two statues of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, natives of Como.
