Sant’Andrea, Neoclassical church in Bergamo, Italy

Sant'Andrea is a Neoclassical church on via Porta Dipinta in Bergamo's upper city, rebuilt from 1840 to designs by Ferdinando Crivelli and consecrated in 1847. Its dome, absent from Crivelli's model, the 1798 Quarenghi chapel in Saint Petersburg, was inspired by the Pantheon. The interior holds an altarpiece by Il Moretto and works by Previtali, Palma il Giovane and Cavagna.

The church was designed by architect Ferdinando Crivelli and completed in the 1840s as Bergamo modernized its religious buildings. This project reflected broader urban development and changing architectural tastes of the era.

The church is known for the veneration of Saints Domnione, Domnone and Eusebia, whose relics were found in 1401 under the main altar and are kept in a 1724 cypress-wood and silver urn in the chapel dedicated to them. A plaque in the Cappella dei Martiri recalls the 1295 discovery of a crown, a chalice and a silver spoon, probably votive offerings to these saints.

The church is open during regular hours and welcomes visitors to view the artworks and architectural features throughout the day. As an active place of worship, visitors should dress modestly and be respectful of religious activities taking place.

The artworks within the church span more than three centuries of creation, with pieces added at different times that show how artistic traditions evolved alongside changing tastes. Walking through reveals how later artists chose to complement earlier works.
