Bergamo / the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - Bergamo | Secret World Trip Planner

There is a deep and പുരാതന link between the city and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, which probably derives from the unique conditions of its construction. ആദ്യകാല 1100s, ഭയങ്കരമായ ഒരു പ്ലേഗ് പടർന്ന് spread across Europe causing death and desolation. The inhabitants of Bergamo then decide to ask Our Lady for help: if she will protect them from contagion they will dedicate a church to her as a Thanksgiving. And since the bergamasques ആളുകള് അവരുടെ വാക്ക്, 1137-ൽ അവർ follow up the vote and on the Piazza ഡെൽ മിലന് മുകളിലെ നഗരം അവർ build the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. They do things great: the church ഉടനെ വെളിപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു. അതിന്റെ പ്രഭ കൂടുതൽ embellished in the following centuries. Frescoes, stuccoes, ചിത്ത്രത്തിരശ്ശീലയോ and മരം tarsies made to the design of the famous artist Lorenzo ലോട്ടറിയും അലങ്കരിക്കാൻ today the interior of the building. അകത്ത് Santa Maria Maggiore is also guarded the ശവസംസ്കാരം സ്മാരകം to കാർത്തേജിലെ Donizetti, പ്രശസ്ത പിന്നണി, ചിഹ്നം spokesman of Bergamo in the world. The Basilica is special because it is characterized by the lack of a central പ്രവേശന and the facade, which constituted a single wall with the adjacent palace. നാല് entrances to the church are all പാർശ്വസ്ഥമോ. At the base of the columns of the protiri (ചെറിയ porticoes ആക്കി to protect and cover the main entrance of a church) by Giovanni da Campione, നാല് red and white lions മാർബിൾ ഗാർഡ് impassively and പ്രതാപിയും the northern and southern പ്രവേശന. On the North Side opens ലേക്കായി മിലന് porta dei Leoni റോസ്സി; the southern side പകരം overlooks Piazza Rosate with the porta dei Leoni bianchi. വ്യത്യസ്ത കളർ is given by the തരം മാർബിൾ used: the വെറോനീസ് ഒന്നു ഇവിടെയെത്തി എന്ന് Candoglia (in the Piedmontese വാല് ഡി'ossola) for the Whites. Even the chosen place is not accidental: it has always been considered sacred, ഇതിനകം റോമൻ തവണ അത് housed ഒരു പേഗൻ ക്ഷേത്രം പിന്നീട് നശിപ്പിച്ചു dedicated to the goddess Clemenza and in the eighth century there was built another church dedicated to the Virgin.
