Matris Domini Monastery, Dominican monastery in Bergamo, Italy
The Matris Domini Museum exhibits medieval frescoes within the oldest section of the Dominican convent in central Bergamo, displaying religious artworks across multiple halls.
The monastery, established in the second half of the 13th century, served different purposes through time, including a period as a Gestapo prison during World War II.
The museum contains twenty fresco pieces from the 13th and 14th centuries, depicting biblical scenes and representing early examples of wall painting in Lombardy.
Visitors can explore both the museum section with its transferred frescoes and the adjacent church, which features a nave structure with two side aisles.
Five polychrome glass circles from a 14th-century stained glass window represent the oldest known vitreous artworks in the Lombardy region.
