In the early times, a little bit north of the Sangiorgese urban area and immersed among the woods and hills of the Morainic Amphitheater of Ivrea, stood the little suburb of Misobolo. Of probable Roman origin, it was perhaps abandoned due to the violent events of the Guelphic-Ghibelline war, which happened in 1300 in Canavese. In evidence of that past human presence, the Sanctuary of the Lady of Graces remains. The Sanctuary of Misobolo stands on a hill, at the end of a street which starts in San Giorgio and climbs up the morainic hill.
Numerous architectural changes, performed on several occasions, have radically changed its original characteristics, and today it presents some typical Baroque lines. Inside, in the side of the choir, there is a large collection of "ex-voto" (ex-vows) which expresses the widespread popular devotion for the Lady of Misobolo. Next to the Orco river, in an area of intense agricultural farming, lies the small town of Cortereggio. In the middle of this urban area, that once was the important imperial latifundium Curtis Regia, stands the church of St. Lucina. Of uncertain origins, it owes its current apperance to a renovation made in 1800.
