Santi Pietro e Paolo, Church in Ponte San Pietro, Italy

Santi Pietro e Paolo has a single nave of seven bays divided by pilasters with marble capitals supporting the vault ribs. The stone facade has a projecting central body in two registers, with a portal topped by a Verona marble lunette and, above, a polifora and a mosaic of Saint Peter gathering the faithful into his boat.

The first stone of the new parish church was laid in 1913 by Bishop Giacomo Radini-Tedeschi. Construction stopped during World War I and resumed afterwards, with Elia Fornoni's original design revised by Dante Fornoni. The church was consecrated on 26 April 1934 by Bishop Adriano Bernareggi, and the parish title was transferred here from the old church of San Pietro, which was then abandoned.

The mosaic on the facade shows Saint Peter in his boat gathering the faithful, and the church keeps the name of the old parish church of San Pietro, abandoned after the 1934 consecration. Inside, the third bay holds a marble group of Saint Joseph by Gianni Remuzzi, and the seventh bay has altars of the Sacred Heart and of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.

The church stands in Ponte San Pietro, in the province and diocese of Bergamo, part of the Mapello-Ponte San Pietro vicariate. The facade faces the street with its projecting stone body; the main portal sits under a lunette of Verona marble. Secondary entrances open in the fourth bay of the single nave, and the presbytery at the end is raised by several steps.

The facade mosaic shows Saint Peter in his boat gathering the faithful, and the marble lunette above the entrance is from Verona. The bell tower, added in 1952 to a design by Elia Fornoni, is built of Credaro stone.
