Chiesa di Ognissanti, Catholic church at monumental cemetery, Bergamo, Italy
The Chiesa di Ognissanti is a church within a cemetery complex in Bergamo, defined by a modern single-hall design. Black marble steps lead visitors to a raised sanctuary area surrounded by monumental bronze relief sculptures that line the interior walls.
The municipal council approved construction of this building in 1962, with engineer Pietro Milanesi designing the structure that was completed within a few years. It was built as part of the cemetery complex's modern development.
The walls feature artistic depictions of saints and religious figures moving through the space, creating a visual journey. This arrangement guides visitors' eyes naturally toward the central altar.
The building is located within the cemetery complex and is accessible to those visiting the grounds. Capuchin friars manage daily religious functions and ensure the space is well-maintained.
Artist Trento Longaretti created special mosaics on the interior walls depicting scenes with angels and saints. These artworks tell a visual story that unfolds throughout the building.
