"The Chiesa di San Marco's origins can be traced back to the mid-16th century. Initially dedicated to the Holy Cross, the church was later renamed in honor of Saint Alexander of Bergamo, the city's patron saint. Over the centuries, the church underwent several modifications, reflecting the changing architectural styles and devotional practices of the time.
The church's exterior showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Baroque influences. The façade, adorned with pilasters and a central tympanum, reflects the Renaissance style's emphasis on symmetry and proportion. However, the church's interior boasts a more elaborate Baroque aesthetic, evident in the intricate stuccowork and ornate altars. This unique blend of styles adds to the church's distinct character."
