The Lazzaretto currently appears as a chapel in the open countryside, behind the former church of Sant'Andrea, beyond the Muzza canal, an area of ​​springs and fields cultivated with fodder and corn. The chapel contains an ossuary containing the remains of dozens of bodies that the word "Lazzaretto" suggests are those of the "Manzonian" plague of 1630. In fact, a 17th-century document mentions a "Lazzaretto" here for the first time. It might therefore be thought that for hygiene reasons, the victims of the disease were first buried in an area separate from the old cemetery, and the remains were subsequently collected in the area where the current chapel stands. Furthermore, there is an epigraph on the base of the small altar inside the chapel, which states that the remains of the deceased were placed here when, in 1963, with the demolition of the church, the old cemetery was dismantled. This is a place of deep meditation and peace, a long-standing object of popular devotion. The front wall has a gray granite step on which, as children, we knelt to pray, gazing, not without some trepidation, through the iron grate at the skulls and other bones lying on shelves inside the chapel. Rosaries and religious processions are held on various occasions, and masses were sometimes celebrated for the deceased. We obviously don't know their identity, but they are certainly our ancestors, and this has contributed to making this place much loved by the people of Albignano.
