Palazzo del comune
The town hall of the municipality of Bossolasco is located in a small and charming deconsecrated church.
The building is characterized by a single nave covered by a barrel vault and a semicircular apse.
It is presented, both inside and outside, in exposed brickwork. The ground floor, which is accessed via a few steps and a ramp for the disabled, is characterized by an office, obtained in the space in front of the apse and by a single room used as a council chamber and an interesting permanent exhibition space of contemporary works of art dedicated to the beauties of the Langa.
The church, now the town hall, was dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the brotherhood of the Disciplinanti and the Umiliate also known as the church of the Battuti. The current church is a reconstruction, from the mid-1600s, desired by the Bossolaschese population to respect the vows made during the plague that hit the Langhe and Bossolasco hard around 1630. It was rebuilt, with the church of the Madonna della Mellea, by master Nicolao. As documented by the drawings made by Clemente Rovere, until 1831, the church of the Battuti had a bell tower.
On the left we find the bell tower of the church of the Battuti, on the right the bell tower of the church of San Giovanni Battista.
