SAN TOMMASO |
- The new, parish church of Gesso on Via Tasso inherited the name of an older one that
no longer exists, dedicated to St. Thomas the Apostle which stood beside the bridge
over the Lavino River, near the demographic heart of the community. It was designed
by Giuseppe and Pietro Coccolini and dedicated in 1995. In contains a monumental,
Sielbermann-type organ, a depiction of the Stations of the Cross by Lina Osti and
a thirty square meter stained-glass window by Lorenzo Ceregato, illustrating the famous
episode of Thomas putting his hand on the wounded side of the risen Christ. The Apostle
is also represented in the churchyard by a white Carrara marble statue sculpted by
Francesco Martani.
