San Michele al Pozzo Bianco

The church features a single nave divided by three bays, with pointed arches resting on fifteenth-century pillars and exposed wooden beams.

The structure dates back to the eighth century under Lombard rule, with its first documented mention appearing in Taidone's testament of 774.

Lorenzo Lotto created a series of frescoes depicting scenes from Mary's life in 1525 while residing in the adjacent Vicar's House.

The church entrance has two 2-centimeter thresholds, and visitors need to insert coins to activate the lighting system for viewing the artworks.

The tripartite crypt, considered the oldest in Bergamo province, contains thirteenth-century frescoes and served as a winter church.
