San Donnino, Piacenza

San Donnino or San Donnino Martire is a Romanesque style Catholic church located at the intersection of Largo Cesare Battisti and Vicolo San Donnino in the historic center of Piacenza, Region of Emilia Romagna, Italy.

The original structure dating from this time follows a decidedly Romanesque basilica plan with three naves closed by semi-circular apses.

After an unexpected collapse of the nave in 1951, the latest restoration removed many of the additions accumulated over the centuries.

[2] The choir and the sanctuary had been frescoed with quadratura by Francesco and Giovanni Battista Natali, with figures by Bartolomeo Rusca.

[3] The church houses the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and holds a bronze crucifix by Giorgio Groppi donated by the baker's guild in town.
