Church of the Fonte
The church, a small building with a single nave and two side chapels, stands just outside the walled centre of Saltara.
The former ‘Church of the Spring’ was built right on top of a spring. It houses Baroque artworks and two beautiful frescoes (1470) by Giovanni A. di Bellinzoni. It houses a permanent exhibition of objects related to daily life and local customs, which bridge the sacred and the profane, uniting faith and local culture. Among these, the statue of the ‘Dead Christ’ from 1847 stands out. It is the protagonist of the Good Friday Procession, which is re-enacted every year in this village, keeping alive a medieval tradition of profound devotion.
