“San Martino church, also called San Martino Maggiore is a Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church located at the corner of Via Marsala and Via Guglielmo Oberdan in Bologna, region of Emilia Romagna, Italy. The church was founded by the adjacent Carmelite monastery. In 25 August 1941, Pope Pius XII elevated it to the status of basilica and imposed on the Archbishop of Bologna, Mario Corneliano to Pontifically crown the venerated Marian image of Our Lady of Carmel (for the second time) since 10 August 1704 via the authority of the Vatican Chapter under Pope Clement XI.” (San Martino, Wikipedia)
