BORGHETTO DI VARA<\/p>

Church of Accola<\/h2><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The name Accola comes from the medieval term used for a particular kind of agrarian agreement called \u201cinvestitura ad \u00e0ccola\u201d. The church, dating back to the late 14th century, took the place of a curtis, a centre of land administration during the Carolingian age, to which a religious building was probably annexed. This building has yet to be analysed and its tracks are buried under the current one.<\/p>\n

Inside, next to 17th century frescoes, is an epigraph from 1482 linked to a series of restoration works, testament to that same desire of keeping the vitality of the place, that we can find today in the recent restorations and archaelogical investigations.<\/p>\n

The strategic position of Accola along Via dei Monti, here running alongside the river Vara on a track unaltered unitil the 19th century, has determined its importance as one of the main expressions of Christianity on this medieval road.<\/p>\n
