“Po Valley Gothic architecture, in the form of a hall, in the 12th century it was a monastery entrusted to the Humiliati which, according to tradition, hosted Saint Roch of Montpellier in the 14th century, of which a painting and a statue are preserved. The façade was rebuilt in 1957 based on a design by the architect Camillo Guidotti; the apse, in the rear part of the church, was enlarged in 1500 and the six side altars were created in the seventeenth century, totally or partially closing the long ogival windows; the bell tower was raised in 1957 based on a design by the architect Pietro Berzolla. Of the stained glass windows, dating back to the 20th century, some are designed by the artist Trento Longaretti from Bergamo (Nativity, Crucifixion, Baptism of Jesus, Our Lady of Sorrows).” (Chiesa di Sant'Anna, Piacenzapace)
