WHAT YOU’LL DO
\n– A comprehensive tour of the countless works in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the most beloved and important church for the people of Bergamo<\/p>\n
WHAT AWAITS YOU
\nThe Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, in the historic heart of Upper Town, is par excellence the church of the people of Bergamo: wanted by the people and built with their offerings.
\nBuilt in the second half of the 12th century, the exterior retains the original Romanesque-Lombard architectural lines, but inside it will leave you speechless with its Baroque decorations and all the works of art it holds, including the wooden inlays designed by the 16th-century Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto.<\/p>\n
At the end of the painstaking restoration of Lorenzo Lotto’s and Capoferri’s chancel that lasted more than a year and restored beauty and color to the extraordinary 16th-century work, here is a guided tour to discover this mysterious work and the Basilica’s many other secrets. <\/p>\n
You’ll visit medieval frescoes, countless artifacts including grandiose tapestries, the rich confessional by Bergamo sculptor Andrea Fantoni, and the funeral monument of composer Gaetano Donizetti.<\/p>\n
The tour, lasting about an hour and a half, is possible during the opening hours of the basilica, except Sunday mornings, and can be booked up to two days before the requested date.<\/p>\n
NB: If the visit coincides with the opening hours of the Museo del Tesoro located in the women’s gallery, the tour will also include this.<\/p>\n","indepth":"","howtogetthere":"","timerange":"
