Church of the Blessed Virgin of Paradise

A church rich in history and works by important local artists.

Description

In the historic center of Clusone, there is the Church of Paradise.

Built as an extension of a monastery in the 13th century, it owes its present appearance to various structural and decorative interventions between the 18th and 20th centuries.

Located in Paradiso Square, it preserves valuable works of art inside.

In fact, the bare and austere facade conceals an interior rich in paintings, chapels and striking works.
Of notable beauty is certainly the 15th-century fresco depicting Our Lady of Sorrows, a particular and devout representation of Marian sorrow, and numerous works by Clusonese sculptors, chiselers, carvers and painters, including Carpinoni, Cifrondi, Galizzi and Brighenti.
The twentieth-century Altar of the Visitation, by Virginio Muzio, with the revival of elements by Fantoni is one of the most notable artistic elements.

The facade is made of local stone, and it is traditionally claimed that these stones came from some of the forts, a refuge for Guelphs and Ghibellines.
