Pieve di San Giorgio

The Pieve di San Giorgio is a church in the comune of Argenta, northern Italy.

[1] Located on the right bank of the Reno River, it was founded in 569 by the archbishop of Ravenna.

The interior houses a Byzantine altar and traces of 12th century paintings.

Also notable is the portal with its lunette depicting the Martyrdom of St. George whose naked body blessed by the hand of God is held by two clothed men against a spiked wheel.

The date of the sculpture 1122 and the name of the artist Iohannes de Mutiglianus are both recorded on the borders of the lintel.
