Parish Church of Saint James the Apostle, also known as the Holy Family Church

Rocca Meli Lupi di Soragna

Rocca Meli Lupi di Soragna
Soragna, Italy

The first church was in the neighborhood of Brè (where the present graveyard is located), whereas the contemporary church was commissioned by the archpriest Giuseppe Mazzieri and built beween 1755 and 1769. With a nearly square plan, its four central pillars sustain the hemispherical vault. On the inside there are several works of art, such as the white marble statuary group of the Dead Christ (Alvise da Cà, 1708), a wood statue of Our Lady of Sorrows (Lorenzo Aili, 1701), a large organ built by the brothers Carlo and Giuseppe Serassi from Bergamo (1814), a polycrome scagliola representation of the Stations of the Cross (Emilio Trombara, 1905) and the Saint James' altar in gilded wood (Vincenzo Biazzi, 18th century). The bell tower, raised in 1960 by the Bergamo engineer Angelini, is characterised by a superb C-major concert of eight bells realised in 1934 in the foundry Adda in Crema.
