Basilica di Santa Maria in Valvendra ---

You will be amazed by the grandeur of this building, for whose construction the course of the Valvendra stream was even diverted, from which the Basilica takes its name. North of Lovere, desired during the Renaissance by the families of the Borgo as tangible testimony to their wealth, accumulated through the famous local cloth. If you love to challenge yourself, try to distinguish the late Gothic artistic influences from those of the Lombard-Venetian Renaissance style present in the Basilica! Want some help? Observe carefully the coffered vault of the central nave, the polygonal apse, closed by a precious inlaid wooden choir, the main altar, the frescoes on the walls and the nine side chapels: even if you don't guess the styles, you will have at least admired the wonders of this Basilica.
