Dezzolo - Sant’Andrea:
Church of Sant’Andrea

The Church of Saint Andrew the Apostle, erected in the locality of Dezzolo, became a parish in 1599, according to what is reported by Pagnoni, with a decree by Bishop Giovan Battista Milani, following separation from the Parish of Santa Maria in Vilminore. It was rebuilt in 1722 on an architectural project by Andrea Fantoni of Rovetta. The Church, built on sloping ground with retaining walls to the west and north that create terracing, is surrounded by a porphyry sagrato on two sides and on the front, while at the back it borders the provincial road from which it can be reached by an uphill staircase. The facade is divided horizontally by three orders ending with a curvilinear pediment and, in the center, presents the stone entrance portal with brackets, architrave and broken pediment complete with fastigium. In 1948 it was consecrated by Bishop Adriano Bernareggi.
