Church of San Giorgio
Via Farini
Modena, May 2024
“Designed by architect and court designer Gaspare Vigarani in the mid-1600s, the Church of San Giorgio houses a number of Baroque paintings. Its high altar, dating back to 1666 and attributed to Antonio Loraghi, was embellished with an image of the Virgin, added some 30 years later. Vigarani also taught his sons the art of architecture and design – Modena-born Carlo later worked in the court of Louis XIV at Versailles. The facade, designed by Antonio Loraghi, was built in 1685. The cycle of marble statues are the work of Giovanni, Andrea and Tommaso Lazzoni.” (San Giorgio church, VisitModena)

Beautiful photo! Thank you so much for sharing the information. You and I used to follow each other's blogs when I was at Linda's Peaceful Place. I had no computer for more than 7 years, and due to the amount of time that had passed, I lost access to my old blog. I started a new blog at Linda's Relaxing Lair (the link is in my profile).
I am so happy to have found you again, and that you are still posting on your blog!
Sorry for not answering to you before, it is nice to hear from you again!
