The Visitation ■
The Matris Domini Monastery is an
enclosed female monastery which hosts the museum of the same name, situated in
the lower part of the Italian city of Bergamo. It houses a museum featuring
several medieval frescoes with religious themes. The monastery was founded
during the second half of the 13th-century by the Dominican Order to house a
community of nuns. There is no certain date for the foundation, probably during
the rule of Bishop Algiso da Rosate or that of Erbordo Ungano. Its church was
consecrated on 25 March 1273 by Bishop Guiscardo Suardi ■
