Sant'Antonio, Faenza

It was built atop an earlier 1400s church, near San Giacomo della Penna, using many of the original external walls.

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 which was destroyed in a fire on 25 August 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.
