Sant'Antonio, Faenza

The Church of Sant'Antonio is a late Baroque church in Faenza, Italy.

History

The present structure was built in 1702 using designs by Carlo Cesare Scaletta, atop an earlier 1400s church, near San Giacomo della Penna, and using many of the original external walls. The onion-topped bell tower was also designed by Scaletta, and completed in 1728. Among the artworks inside are a canvas of the Martyrdom of St Catherine of Alexandria (1580) by Marco Marchetti. This replaces the original baroque engraved wooden and golden altarpiece that burned in a fire on August 25, 1989. In addition, there are paintings by Francesco Bosi from Brisighella (known as “Il Gobbino dei Sinibaldi”), Giovanni Battista Bertucci, and four “Stories of San Antonio of Padua” attributed to Pasquale Tomba.[1]

gollark: I was thinking "find the factors of a number" or something, but that seems waaay too simple.
gollark: I figure it would probably be bad to do anything involving graphics, hm.
gollark: 3? I was hoping for at least 5.
gollark: Hmm. I wonder what the maximum amount of suffering I'm reasonably allowed to cause is.
