Pontremoli Cathedral

Pontremoli Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Pontremoli; Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, also Santa Maria del Popolo) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Pontremoli, region of Tuscany, Italy.

[3] As an ex-voto of gratitude to the Virgin for the waning of the plague of 1622, the present church was erected between 1636 and 1687 using designs by the architect Alessandro Capra.

On July 7, 1630, the General Council of the city deliberated to build up a temple in honour of the Madonna del Popolo in a place where previously existed a Marian church.

[4] The Neo-Renaissance style facade was erected in 1926 by the architect Vincenzo Micheli.

The interior was frescoed by Francesco Natali with later artists adding stucco decoration.
