San Francesco del Prato
Piazzale San Francesco
Parma, May 2024
“San Francesco del Prato is a Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church, located on Piazzale San Francesco #4 in central Parma, Italy. In front stands the 15th-century Palazzo Cusani. Founded by the Franciscan order, the first church on the site was built 1227-1238. Their adjacent school once housed the theologian Bartholomew Mastrius. The building was lengthened and finished around 1462. The facade has a Gothic rosette in a terracotta frame. The nave had three aisles, separated by columns, with a higher central one. The cupola pinnacles were painted by Michele Anselmi. The apse has an aged fresco depicting Christ Pantocrator attributed to Bernardino Grossi and his son in law Jacopo Loschi.” (San Francesco del Prato, Wikipedia)
