Holy Trinity (c. 1519-1520) by Lorenzo Lotto

There, it was placed near Lotto's Pietà with Saint Joseph and a Female Saint. The church was suppressed in 1808 and demolished, with the painting acquired by local curate Giovanni Battista Conti.[2] It was later inherited by Giuseppe, a friar, who in 1818 gave it to the Church of Sant'Alessandro della Croce, its present owner. It is now temporarily stored at the Museo Adriano Bernareggi in Bergamo.[3]
