Km 1,3 / Elevation change + 7
The Francigena path along the left of the Dora Riparia starts from Bussoleno and goes alongside the railway line until reach Grangia in Chianocco. The route continues along an asphalt road, going in front of an ancient stronghold (12th century), an interesting example of Romanesque civic architecture. Located at the entrance to the Riserva dell'Orrido di Chianocco, the town consists of numerous villages, but its oldest heart in Campoasciutto is characterised by the majestic fortification of the Castle (13th century) and the Parish Church of San Pietro Apostolo in front of it, which was built after the flood that destroyed its Romanesque predecessor of which remains just the bell-tower. Also noteworthy is the Cemetery Chapel of Sant'Ippolito (11th century), decorated with fine 15th century frescoes.
