Santa Maria Assunta, Baroque church in Ghedi, Italy.

Santa Maria Assunta is a Baroque church in Ghedi with a graceful facade, multiple altars, and marble decorative elements throughout. The interior displays characteristic features of 17th-century Italian Baroque architecture.

The first stone of the current parish church was laid in 1606, after the town approved the project and gathered materials; the new building was shifted north of the earlier pieve so Mass could continue during construction. Excavations in 1999–2001, supervised by Andrea Breda, uncovered traces of a late antique baptismal church and baptistery, suggesting worship on the site since the 5th–6th century. A pieve is documented in writing only from the last thirty years of the 13th century.

The church serves as the spiritual center of the town, where people come together for worship and mark important life moments. It remains woven into the daily rhythms and customs of the local community today.

The church is easy to reach on foot in central Ghedi during a visit to the town. Visitors should expect standard opening hours for an Italian church and dress appropriately when entering.

The 1999–2001 excavations, supervised by architect Andrea Breda, uncovered a primitive baptismal church with a central-plan baptistery beneath the apse and nave. A stretch of the early medieval cemetery with capuchin burials found in Piazza Roma is displayed in a room of the town hall, and a tomb is shown in the council chamber.
