The Oratory, dedicated to San Majolo, Abbot of Cluny, goes back to the beginning of the eighteenth
century.
Located on the southern side of the piazza 21 Luglio , it seems almost embedded in the urban
fabric of the neighbouring houses. Built in the XVIII century, inside there is an altarpiece representing
St. Majolo,by the painter Domenico Biraghi, and placed on 11 May 1858 the day of the Feast of the
Saint to replace a previous one that was damaged.
In the seventeenth century the bell of the oratory of San Majolo rang to call a meeting of the heads of
the families to discuss the problems of the community and to elect the mayor and the parish priest. The
community of Robecco was very devoted to the Saint, they relied on him even to obtain heavenly
blessings on the fruits of the countryside, and to take away the scourges of hail.
In 1936 the oratory was dedicated to the fallen of the Great War and then to those of the II world war.
Above the portal of access they added an inscription with the dedication, while two large shell cases
carved on a stone podium were placed in front of the small portico.
