Morazzone's characteristic style is fully developed in his frescoes in the chapels of Sacro Monte of Varese and Sacro Monte of Varallo.
The Sacri Monti (Italian for "Sacred Mountains") of Piedmont and Lombardy are a series of nine calvaries or groups of chapels and other architectural features created in northern Italy during the late sixteenth century and the seventeenth century. They include the Sacred Mount Calvary of Domodossola, the Sacro Monte di Belmonte, the Sacro Monte di Crea, the Sacro Monte di Ghiffa, the Sacro Monte di Oropa, the Sacro Monte di Orta, the Sacro Monte di Ossuccio, the Sacro Monte di Varallo, and the Sacro Monte di Varese.
