Driving down the state road towards Arona, just after the inhabited settlement of Veveri, take on the right curve a countryside road to reach the homonymous farm, where the small oratory dedicated to Saint Biagio is situated. It has a single oriented hall with apse. The tile roof is supported by a wooden structure. The façade has the shape of a saddleback; the apse, instead, is subdivided by pilasters joint by hanging archlets. It underwent many reworking over the centuries: several rectangular windows and a wicket were open on the south side. Some wall-paintings are partially visible on the inner walls. The most readable one represents Saint Biagio between two figures. The antique altarpiece, situated above the altar, depicts the Virgin with Child on the Throne between Saint Biagio and Saint John the Baptist. Today, the oratory is in serious bad conditions. The wall-paintings, restored in the following centuries, are interesting and surely older.

Nelle suggestive campagne novaresi, tra dolci declivi delle colline coperte di viti e sulle sponde del lago d'Orta e del lago Maggiore si possono ritrovare piccoli oratori, testimonianze di un passato in cui arte e fede erano strettamente legate tra loro.
