Analytical text:
Description Tradition has it that the church of San Prospero of Cagnola was one of the ones built on behalf of Countess Matilde. In the XV century it appeared as being united to Ginepreto and Groppo and in the XVII century to Frascaro. The church, reconstructed for the first time towards 1700, got its current Matildic layout in 1828. Works done in 1964 allowed large fragments of the original construction to be reclaimed. On the southern side there's a sequence of antique "opus quadratum" walling with a small, narrow, slanted window, probably a remnant of the antique medieval church. 1700 (period of construction).
