Santa Grata inter vites, Baroque church in Bergamo, Italy.

The church features a grand central dome adorned with frescoes by Francesco Polazzo depicting the Glory of Saint Grata from 1739-1740.

The original structure from 774 underwent demolition in 1529 during mercenary attacks and was later rebuilt in the 18th century by architect Achille Alessandri.

The interior walls display the Living Skeletons Scenes fresco cycle by Paolo Bonomini, portraying skeletons resembling actual Bergamo residents from different professions.

The church stands at Via Borgo Canale 38, across from the San Gottardo Stairway, outside the Sant'Alessandro gate of Bergamo.

The name 'inter vites' refers to the vineyards that surrounded the church until the 18th century, marking its historical placement among grape cultivations.
