San Bernardino, 15th-century church in Lallio, Italy

San Bernardino is a church in Lallio with a single nave divided into three bays covered by a wooden roof and ending in a quadrangular apse; the central bay opens into two side chapels. The facade has a central stone-framed opening and a rectangular window above, with traces of a fresco on the right. Inside, 16th-century frescoes by Gerolamo Colleoni and Cristoforo Baschenis the Elder cover the walls.

The church was built in 1450, the year Bernardino of Siena was canonised, at the wish of the young Eustacchio Licini, known as Cacciaguerra, before he joined the Franciscan order. His will of 3 May 1451 left property to fund its construction, decoration and upkeep. In 1532 side chapels were added and Gerolamo Colleoni frescoed them, the facade and the presbytery; the bell tower was finished by 1 May 1606.

The church is the first in the Bergamo area dedicated to Bernardino of Siena, built in the year of his canonization, 1450. Its frescoes include the Stories of the Virgin in eighteen captioned panels, inspired by both canonical and apocryphal gospels, a narrative meant to console worshippers facing difficult family circumstances.

The church stands on a small paved area enclosed by a high wall and reached through a sandstone portal with a gate. It is a subsidiary church of the parish of Santi Bartolomeo e Stefano in Lallio, so opening times depend on the parish. The single nave is divided into three bays under a wooden roof, with the central bay widening into two side chapels.

The church was the first in the Bergamo area dedicated to Saint Bernardino, built in 1450, the year of his canonisation, by the young Eustacchio Licini, known as Cacciaguerra, before he joined the Franciscan order. His 1451 will left much of his property to the building, decoration and upkeep of the church.
