Near the village of San Gabriele (4 kms from Baricella), it is worth noting the Church of S. Maria del Corniolo, consecrated in 1530, as can be seen on the plaque in the apse.
The altar piece representing the Assumption, remodelled several times, dates back to the early 16th century.
Of the decoration from then, there survive two frescoes on the counterfaçade, as well as a highly interesting fragment with a floral and anthropomorphic motif, believed to be the work of Rocca Isolani in Minerbio.
