Works

Azzone:
Church of Santi Filippo e Giacomo Apostoli

The current church of Azzone, in antiquity called Zono, was built in the 18th century over the original one, of which there is no certain dating.

Image

Schilpario:
Church of Sant’Antonio da Padova

The Church of Schilpario, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, whose first stone was laid on May 14, 1664 and opened for worship in the year of its completion in 1682, stands on the same site where in 1338 the original was built, elevated to Parish Church on March 26, 1387, following the separation from the Church of Saint George of Vilmaggiore.

Dezzolo - Sant’Andrea:
Church of Sant’Andrea

The Church of Saint Andrew the Apostle, erected in the locality of Dezzolo, became a parish church in 1599, according to what is reported by Pagnoni, by decree of Bishop Giovan Battista Milani, by separation from the Parish of Saint Mary in Vilminore.

Pezzolo:
Church of San Rocco

The current Church, dedicated to Saint Roch, was built in 1660, and subsequently, in 1664 became a Parish Church by decree of Bishop Gregorio Barbarigo following the separation from the Church of the Antica Pieve.

Image

Dezzo:
Church of Santa Maria Maddalena

Although the origins of Christian culture in the district of Dezzo are unknown, an inscription existing in an ancient codex of the parish archive, now lost, comes to our aid: it tells of how a sacred building, in Dezzo, was built in the year 1350, a date that, not by chance, is a few decades after the elevation to Parish Church of the Church of Azzone.

Image

Barzesto:
Church of the Santissimo Corpo di Cristo

The building, originally built around 1300, was subjected, in 1600 and 1729, to renovation work that gave it its current appearance.

Image

Vilminore di Scalve:
Church of Santa Maria Assunta e San Pietro

The Parish Church of Vilminore, pillar of the religious tradition of the territory, has its historical roots in the 13th century, when the first religious settlements in the area were built.

Image

Nona:
Church of the Natività di Maria Vergine

The Parish Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, built at the end of the 16th century, has a simple structure and is equipped, like many churches of that time, with an external portico to protect the main entrance with its carved walnut door frame, a work by Piccini.

Image

Colere:
Church of San Bartolomeo

The current Parish Church of Colere was built between 1775 and 1788 in a central position, in the Zanoli area, a location equidistant from the numerous districts that made up the settlement of Colere with the related small places of worship including the Cesulì, which had served as Parish Church since 1459, after separation from the community of Saint Mary in Vilminore.

Nona:
Artist's House

Nona is a small mountain village in Valle di Scalve, a suggestive alpine valley located in the Orobie Prealps, in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, which appears surrounded by imposing mountains, such as Pizzo Camino and Presolana. The village of Nona, in the 1666 census, was called Annona, a toponym whose probable Latin origin refers to the presence, on site, of a supply warehouse intended for workers and laborers from the nearby Manina mines.
