Santa Maria delle Grazie, Renaissance church in Soncino, Italy.
The church features a rectangular nave with cross-vaulted ceiling, white marble portal, and a bell tower designed by Gerardo da Piacenza.
Cardinal Raimondo Perauti laid the first stone of the church in February 1501, with construction supervised by Father Antonio Maestri from Mantua.
The church interior contains extensive fresco cycles by Renaissance artists Francesco Scanzi and Giulio Campi depicting religious scenes and Evangelists.
The building stands along an ancient Roman trade road that connected the cities of Bergamo and Cremona in northern Italy.
After the Carmelites left in 1772 following Maria Theresa's edict, the church deteriorated until Saint Paola Elisabetta Cerioli purchased it in 1864.
