Santa Maria della Vita, Bologna Overview
The Church of Santa Maria Della Vita is in Quadrilatero, Bologna's heart. This baroque church flaunts the famous Compianto del Cristo Morto sculpture by Niccolò dell'Arca. In Oratorio dei Battuta, you will see another fantastic terracotta scuplture by Alfonso Lombardi—Il Transito della Vergine.
The oratory is embellished with intricate frescoes. The Lamentation over the Dead Christ features six figures gathered around a dead Christ. What makes it impressive is the meticulous detail in the expressions of pain and sorrow in the sculptures. The rest of the church is beautifully decorated with paintings, colourful marble and statues.
