Beato Innocenzo da Berzo, church of Santa Maria Nascente. In the parish church of Berzo Inferiore there is the reliquary containing the funeral of the blessed Innocenzo da Demo al century Giovanni Scalvinoni (Niardo, March 19, 1844 - Bergamo, March 3, 1890). Giovanni Scalvinoni was born in Niardo, in the province of Brescia, on March 19, 1844 from a humble family, consisting of his mother and father who died shortly after his birth. His education took place first in the college of Lovere where he remained five years and then in the seminary of Brescia where, on June 2, 1867, he received priestly ordination and his new name, Innocenzo Maria. His first assignment, as vicar, was in Cevo, in Val Saviore, where he remained for only two years before being appointed vice-rector of the seminary in which he had studied, that of Brescia. Removed after a year, he was appointed vice-parish priest of Berzo Inferiore, where he taught as a professor; later he joined the order of the Capuchin Friars Minor, entering the convent of the Annunciata in Cogno as a novice. Having pronounced his vows he was sent as a friar to Albino where he pronounced solemn vows and again he was sent to the Annunciata, where he remained 14 years, this time as vice-master of the novices of the convent, distinguishing himself for some mystical phenomena such as the Scrutatio Cordis, the photophany , levitation, ecstasies and miraculous blessings. These phenomena, witnessed at the beatification process, attracted many people to the Convent of the Annunciata. After some transfers (Milan and Crema), he was entrusted with the task of directing and preaching the spiritual exercises in the convents of Milan, Albino, Bergamo and Brescia. Gravely ill in Albino, he was transferred to the Capuchin infirmary in Bergamo, where he died on March 3, 1890. Buried first in Bergamo, he was then taken to Berzo Inferiore (BS). The village of Berzo is located in the lower part of Val Grigna, preceded upstream by Bienno and downstream by Esine and is very nice to visit and get to know.
