Rievocazione Storica — Festa della Consacrazione dell'Incoronata

An important anniversary for Martinengo

The Festa della Consacrazione dell'Incoronata is a historical-theatrical reenactment that takes place in Martinengo, a municipality in the Province of Bergamo. In 2026, the event takes on particular significance: it marks the 550th anniversary of the consecration of the Church of the Incoronata, which occurred on November 3rd, 1476. The Incoronata church and convent are among the most precious monuments in the village, housing an important cycle of frescoes.

A travelling performance

The reenactment takes the form of a travelling historical-theatrical performance that unfolds within the spaces of the Incoronata convent. Costumed figures, narration, and music recreate the atmosphere of the 15th century and the solemnity of the consecration, engaging the audience in a journey through history and suggestion.

The featured companies

The event features the theatre company La Gilda delle Arti, the Gruppo Folcloristico Bartolomeo Colleoni — guardian of the memory of the condottiero who so greatly influenced Martinengo — and the Coro Nuove Armonie, which accompanies the reenactment with its voices.

A year dedicated to the Incoronata

The reenactment on November 8th is the culmination of a rich 2026 calendar of initiatives centered around the Incoronata, the "Inedita Incoronata" review, which intertwines three significant anniversaries: the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis, the 550th anniversary of the church's consecration, and the 210th anniversary of the birth of Saint Paola Elisabetta Cerioli. Conferences, exhibitions of ancient books, guided tours, and reenactments take place from March to November.
