The small town of Acquafredda owes its name to the abundance of springs that feed numerous canals,
including the Fossa Magna, excavated by Bernabò Visconti around the middle of the 1300s to connect the Garda
with the Po.
Compatibly with the time of Sunday mass, a visit to the
Parish church, pausing to appreciate some aspects of artistic value:
- the atmosphere of the interior as a whole, with elegant architectural lines, embellished with warm
decorations, without baroque excesses;
- the altarpiece by Gerolamo Muziano, depicting a suggestive "Assumption", which presents
extraordinary similarities with Romanino's "Assumption" in Sant’Alessandro in Bergamo.
- a fascinating mortar fresco dated 1472 known as "Madonna Addolorata" enclosed in the former
sacristy, now a chapel to the right of the main altar;
- a Crucifix attributed to the Zamara workshop (early 1500s) kept in the sacristy
- a Dead Christ kept in a niche at the "Altar of the Community"
- some interesting paintings representative of the eclectic academic taste of the Brescia schools between the 1600s and
'700: "Sts. Ignazio di Loyola and Filippo Neri adoring the Virgin ”by Ludovico Gallina; "Last Supper" by
Germano Prendaglio; "Souls in purgative" and "San Vincenzo Ferrer" by unknown authors ..
- the wonderful organ perfectly framed in the counter-façade wall.
A special look should also be dedicated to the fifteenth-century wooden statue of the "Madonna with Child",
with a particularly mischievous "Baby Jesus", who seems to want to escape from his mother's arms (the statue
once she was dressed in a cloak made personally by Santa Paola di Rosa).
