After the sale of the old parish house, it was possible to repair an old farm laying dose to the Oratory of Ornavasso: here, in 1987 (in occasion of the fourth centenary of the parish church) the parish museum was opened; it exhibits valuable art master-pieces recovered in the different churches and oratories in the village.
The parish file is remarkable, where the original plan of Madonna della Guardia Sanctuary, as well as the drawings of the imposing altar, can be found.
Among the works, outstands a wooden statue of Sant Antonio Abate, coming from an alpine chapel. And furthermore, a Madonna del Rosario from the 15 th century recovered on its turn from a little chapel on the mountains around Ornavasso; four reliquaries attributed to Giulio Guaglio (sculptor of Antronapiana); a sixteenth-century statue of S. Marta; a polychrome wooden crucifix; a Baroque popular-wooden painted and gold-embossed altar from the year 1612.
Among the paintings we mention a "Last Supper" from the seventeenth century, by unknown author, and five big paintings showing Saint Peter and 4 evangelists, once in the Sanctuary of Madonna della Guardia.
