Belmonte summarizes in itself history, beauty and an extraordinary location, from the top of its hill it dominates the plain and the gaze sweeps from the greenhouse of Ivrea to Monviso ... In any season it offers emotions and beauty. For those who want the ascent of the via dei piloni that from Valperga leads to the sacred mountain is a splendid walk in a natural environment unfortunately ruined by a recent fire. It's a shame it doesn't have the maintenance it deserves. The church is dominated by the sacred mountain and in the highest part a splendid statue of St. Francis, at the bottom of the plateau there are traces of a Longobard camp. In the church, an upper part hides at the end of a steep staircase a corridor full of ex-votos, from the most naïve to real masterpieces, images of a perhaps simpler and more unconscious period.
