Bellagioinfo - Churches and Museums in Bellagio

"Lovers of art, and in particular of architecture, will be in paradise here. The whole of the Lake Como area is considered, among other things, one of the most important Romanesque tours both for the quantity and quality of the tenth to twelfth century churches, and also for the perfectly preserved medieval villages! But that is not all: several small thematic museums offer interesting insights into their subject matter”. Luca Leoni

Basilica of S. Giacomo (Bellagio)
One of the most important examples of the Lombard Romanesque style. Built between the eleventh and twelfth centuries by the Maestri Comacini, it houses several works of art form different ages, from the archaic Crucifix, to the triptych by Foppa (1432), to the Deposition from the school of Perugino, to the sumptuous sixteenth century altar and the early twentieth century mosaics.

San Giorgio (Bellagio)
An evocative little Romanesque church dating from the eleventh and twelfth centuries. It is home to the statue of the Madonna which, by tradition, is carried in procession on the second Sunday in September.
Since 1625 it has been the home of the Confraternity of the Cinturati.

San Giovanni (San Giovanni district)
A Baroque construction dating from the seventeenth century with a single nave and a seventeenth century wooden altar. It contains a fine fresco of the Lombard school, the Madonna delle Grazie, the statue of the Immacolata from the school of Bernini sculpted in Carrara marble, a finely carved eighteenth century walnut choirstall, and a painting by Gaudenzio Ferrari (1532).

Santa Maria di Loppia (Loppia district)
This small Romanesque basilica with a sloping façade and semi-circular apse can be found in the park at Villa Gerli. The characteristic bell tower is crowned by hanging arches.

Museum of navigational instruments
Over two hundred objects from centuries past are on display in an old tower in the S. Giovanni district. Eighteenth century Venetian telescopes, compasses, sundials and chronometers, an armillary sphere, and a splendid brass planetarium.
