The Church of Sant’Andrea rises in the hamlet of Casanova, in Tremezzina, and represents a significant testimony to Romanesque architecture. The architectural complex is composed of the church with its annexed sacristy and the bell tower. The wall structures are in exposed stone, consisting of roughly hewn Moltrasio stone elements arranged in horizontal courses. The roofs are pitched, covered with stone slabs.
The testimonies that have reached us indicate this building as historically used for the burial of those who died in epidemics, elevating the stone to guardian of the echo of forgotten whispers, the breath of a community that traversed the shadow, surviving it.
