The Anglican church dedicated to the Ascension is located in the hamlet of Maiolica and was built from 1890 on a project by the young architect Giuseppe Brentano using different elements typical of fifteenth-century Lombard architecture.
Inaugurated on 4 November 1891 on the occasion of the Feast of the Ascension and subsequently consecrated in September of the same year, it was the first Anglican church in Italy, built to meet the needs of worship of the flourishing English community that settled in Griante at the end of the 1800s.
