The Church of the Madonna di Loreto in Tussio, built in the 16th century, features a simple gabled façade with a stone portal adorned with a bas-relief of a lamb and a circular oculus above. The interior is a single rectangular nave with a barrel-vaulted ceiling divided by a central arch on pilasters. The presbytery, raised by a step, houses a simple stucco altar and a niche flanked by pilasters and crowned with a curved tympanum. This niche once contained a wooden statue of the Madonna di Loreto from 1622, which was stolen in 1978. The flooring is of ancient terracotta, and natural light enters through rectangular windows on the right side of the nave. The church is located on the road leading to the mountains surrounding Tussio and is noted for its well-preserved condition, despite the loss of the original statue.
