The art of organ building is one of Bergamo’s lesser-known but more prestigious feathers in the cap: a tradition that in the case of the Bossi family spans eight generations, from 1555 to Gabriele, who signed the organ in this church in 1861.
Built in the early 8th century after the Trentino bishop’s supposed sojourn in the hills of Bergamo, in the 1200s it was directed by Dominican friars and in the 1300s by the Order of the Humiliati, which was abolished in the 1500s.
Renovated in 1512, it took on its present appearance with the interventions of the 18th and 20th centuries, which also endowed it with the panoramic terrace overlooking the Lower Town and the western hills.
