Piazza Sant'Antonino
Piacenza, May 2024
“The Basilica of Sant'Antonino is a medieval Roman Catholic basilica in the city of Piacenza in Italy. it is dedicated to the patron saint of the city, Antoninus. The relics of Antoninus were originally found at the nearby site of the church of Santa Maria in Cortina which held an early Christian martyrium. The present building was the work of Bishop Sigifredo, who dedicated it in 1014 as a collegiate church. Siegfried chose the form of a oriented basilica with a western nave and a campanile. The interior was decorated with early Romanesque painting, a little of which survives.” (Sant'Antonino, Wikipedia)
