A devotion place dear to Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, then Pope John XXIII, is located in the Baccanello district of Calusco d’Adda: it is the Santa Maria Assunta church, known since the 16th century, but which origins probably dates back even earlier. Here is where the Colleoni Counts established a monastery of monks. In 1618 the expansion of the church started, and then decoration and frescos portraying Mary and the Saints were added by Francesco Zucchi. The church was sanctified by bishop Federico Cornaro on April 22nd, 1625.
