San Paolo, Piacenza

Mentioned as the site of a parish church by 887, the present structure was built at the end of the seventeenth century.

Despite the single nave, the facade was given four wide compartments or portals that once housed highly admired frescoes by Bartolomeo Baderna.

Inside, the nave vault contains frescoes by Luciano Ricchetti depicting the Beatitudes.

The Chapel of the Madonna della Corona is frescoed by Giambattista Natali and restored by Sidoli in the last century.

The chapel on the right next to the sacristy had an altarpiece of Martyrdom of San Biagio (St Blaise) by Robert de Longe.
