Santissimi Sette Fratelli Martiri, Ranica
Santissimi Sette Fratelli Martiri is a Roman Catholic church in Ranica, near Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy. It is dedicated to the Holy Seven Martyred Brothers, a story found in 2 Maccabees. The nearby church of Santa Lucia stands beside it.
A bell tower from 1524 shows there was an earlier 16th‑century church on the site. The current church was designed in 1782 by Giacomo Caniana (grandson of Giovanni Battista Caniana) and completed between 1796 and 1804 by Simeone Elia, a student of Leopold Pollak. The interior features frescoes by Francesco Comerio. It houses two paintings by Giovanbattista Moroni: the Baptism of Christ and the Crucifixion with Saints. Also notable are a 17th‑century Deposition by Gian Paolo Cavagna, a 19th‑century Martyrdom of the Seven Brothers, and a Madonna in the choir area attributed to San Giovanni by Carlo Ceresa.
