Church of San Bernardo

San Bernardo is the church in the hamlet of Mornico. Considering its position, outside the town as prescribed by the provisions of San Carlo, it is possible to assume that the church was founded later than the sixteenth century.

Originally dedicated to San Bassiano, bishop of Lodi, it is not known twhen it was given its present dedication, to San Bernardo, abbot of Chiaravalle, although it is certain that this dates back to before 1679 when the inhabitants of the place commissioned the project for the enlargement of the oratory already bearing the new title.

The vaults and the decorations show eighteenth-century features, even if the cross-shaped covering of the presbytery dates back to a few decades earlier. There are valuable paintings including a splendid altarpiece depicting Jesus crucified surrounded by the Madonna, San Carlo and San Sebastiano.
