Cultura · Storia Aimero’s Chapel of the Ascension (Méo)
Before Carrosio was founded, the nearby hillside village of Aimero (Méo) was home to an ancient Genoese castle, first recorded in 1141. Standing on its ruins today is a small chapel dating from 1915, which has recently been restored, and where the Feast of the Ascension is celebrated every year. This historical and religious event remains a key occasion for the people of Carrosio to come together and remember their origins.
