Saint Alexander of Bergamo (died c. 303) is the patron saint of Bergamo as well as Capriate San Gervasio and Cervignano d’Adda. Alexander may simply have been a Roman soldier or resident of Bergamo who was tortured and killed for not renouncing his Christian faith. Details of his life are uncertain but subsequent Christian stories consider him a centurion of the Theban Legion commanded by Saint Maurice.
