About Sant'Andrea Isso
Isso and its patron saint
In the plain of the eastern lower Bergamo area, along the Oglio river, the Municipality of Isso (Province of Bergamo) is one of the smallest centres in the region. The town celebrates its patron saint, Saint Andrew the Apostle, on November 30th, the date on which the liturgy commemorates the saint in both the Eastern and Western Churches.
The oratory of Saint Andrew
The heart of devotion in Isso is the historic oratory of Saint Andrew, dating back to the 17th century. Originally the chapel of the Zucoli palace, the oratory today serves as the reference church for the community of Isso. It is around this building steeped in history that the patron saint's festival is renewed each year.
A village festival in the lowlands
The festival of Saint Andrew is the main religious event in Isso's calendar, shared with other municipalities in the Bergamo area that have the same patron saint. In a town of a few hundred inhabitants, the commemoration on November 30th keeps alive the sense of community and the bond with tradition, marking the entry into the winter period and Advent.
