Church of Saints Pietro and Paolo

Church of Saints Pietro and Paolo, Baroque church in Brinzio, Italy.

The Church of Saints Pietro and Paolo is a baroque church in Brinzio, rebuilt from 1769 to 1774 to a design by master builder Francesco Perischetti of Ghirla, in a restrained baroque style. The entrance was set back about 8 metres during construction so as not to shrink the square. Inside, two large canvases hang beside the altar: a Madonna in Glory with Saints by Filippo Bellini on the left and a Nativity of the Virgin by Camillo Procaccini on the right.

Construction of the current building began in 1769 following the community's need to replace the aging original structure. This rebuilding reflected the growing requirements of the local population for a larger and more modern worship space.

The church keeps paintings deposited in 1813 by Milan's Brera Academy: a Madonna in Glory with Saints by Filippo Bellini and a Nativity of the Virgin by Camillo Procaccini, hung beside the altar. A carved wooden pulpit by the Gioberti workshop of Varese stands on the left wall of the nave. The anniversary of the 1779 consecration is still celebrated on the third Sunday of June.

The church is open to visitors who wish to see its interior and architectural details spanning different periods of its history. Visiting during masses or community events offers a fuller sense of how the space functions in daily local life.

The 1769 rebuilding was authorised as a mere "riattazione" to avoid bureaucracy and costs, yet it amounted to a full reconstruction. The entrance had to be set back about 8 metres during the works so the square would not be too small. The consecration followed on 20 June 1779, and its anniversary is kept on the third Sunday of June.
