Gli abitanti di Lomese (Qui da Lumès) sono detti I fauscìt perché abili ad usare la falce (fausc) nel lavoro dei campi e come arma di difesa sempre pronta. Lomese compare per prima nel documento del 910 col toponimo Longomiso e successivamente con Longomexio (1222), Logomexio (1364), Lomexio (1411) e Lomesio (1524). Il toponimo potrebbe derivare da un longo-medo con significato di prato lungo (dalla radice germanica met = prato), ed è perfettamente in accordo con la natura del luogo. Infatti Lomese si adagia al limite di un terreno ondulato coltivato a vigna e prato in una conca ben riparata e ricca di sole ai bordi della quale troviamo le frazioni di Chezzo, Croppomarcio, Torrione e Seggio (1). Con esse costituiva secondo ogni probabilità un'unica proprietà, la corte regia che nel 910 l'imperatore Berengario conferma al visconte Gariardo. sono cresciute costruzioni di pretto disegno ossolano e montecrestesano ad uso di abitazione o cascina. Sulle porte e finestre sono spesso incise croci di ogni tipo, semplici e potenziate e perfino nella forma di svastica. Alla impressionante robustezza delle spesse murature in sasso vivo si accompagnano gli aerei solai ad "astrigo" aperti verso il sole, scale a rampa, ad arcoponte e ad arcorampante, con ardite soluzioni tutte realizzate mediante la pietra locale. la Cappella d'lalmignpèr (del Guglielminpietro)

Today the churches are reduced to Masonic times. In that unfathomable deterioration of faith, it is beauty that pays the highest tribute.
I'll go and see it.
