Santa Maria Gloriosa, Lecco

A church at the site is documented since 1455. In 1640 it became the parish church of Rancio. The present church and bell-tower were refurbished with its present layout and architecture in that century. The interior retains some of its late-baroque decorations, including a wooden statue of the Madonna and child, but also a 16th-century crucifix and a 15th-century icon of the Madonna Odigitria. The main altar with a tempietto and gilded angels, was designed in 1828 by Giuseppe Bovara. In the 20th century, the walls and ceiling were frescoed, along with the altarpiece depicting the blessed Giovanni Battista Mazzucconi.

From the church, there is a striking view of the town.[1]
