Rivolta d’Adda - Maria Assunta e San Sigismondo

Rivolta d’Adda - Maria Assunta e San Sigismondo
Not much is known about the basilica "Maria Assunta e San Sigismondo" in Rivolta d’Adda, about 30 kms east of Milano. Pope Urban II may have consecrated the church in 1095/96, when he preached the crusade in France and Northern Italy. But at that time, the building was probably not completed.

The 19th century narthex protects the carvings of the facade like this very unsual "Agnus Dei".
