Description of the attraction
The parish church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul is first mentioned in historical documents dating back to 1264. The dominant feature of the church is the imposing bell tower built in the 16th century. In 1860, the southern facade of the temple was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style.
The three-nave temple has wooden coffered ceilings. In the side aisles, there are two altars dedicated to the Madonna del Carmelo and the Holy Trinity. Along the perimeter of the central nave are the choir stalls, erected in the 16th century, when the building was significantly expanded. The airy interior is decorated with three magnificent paintings by the artist Giovanni Serodin (1600-1630), who imitated Caravaggio. His most famous painting is called The Coronation of the Virgin Mary. It has two parts. In the upper sector of the canvas, the artist depicted the Virgin Mary surrounded by angels, and in the lower one - a number of saints with Veronica's plate.
Other treasures of the temple include the fresco on the choir ceiling by Pier Francesco Pankaldi-Mola in 1770, and the tomb of Saint Sabina, located in the chapel.
On the wall of the left nave, there is a painting attributed to the brush of Giovanni Battista Serodina, brother of the artist Giovanni Serodina. The fresco was made in the 16th century. There are also two paintings from the 1500s, presumably painted by Bernardino Luini, one of the students of Leonardo da Vinci.
In the right nave, you can see frescoes from the Gothic and Late Gothic eras. The original wooden pulpit was created in 1584. It is covered with exquisite fine carvings.
The fresco depicting scenes from the life of Saint Nicholas of Bari was probably painted by the artist Bottega dei Seregnesi.
