After Arnulf of Carinthia's siege of Bergamo in 894,[1] the Bishop of the city, Adalberto (alternately spelled as Adelberto or Adelbertus[2]) was reported to have rebuilt "an old Alexandrian basilica" that had been flattened during the war.

[3] Whether San'tAlessandro della Croce is that same church is highly contested, with both the Bergamo Cathedral and the demolished Chiesa di Sant'Alessandro in Colonna claiming to be.
