Santa Maria Lacrimosa degli Alemanni is a small church and sanctuary, built during the Renaissance era, and located on Via Mazzini number 65 in central Bologna, Italy.
Two of the altarpieces, an Assumption of the Virgin by Lorenzo Sabbatini and a Madonna degli Scalzi (1590) by Ludovico Carracci, were looted to France.
[1] In 1808, the archbishop of Bologna, Cardinal Carlo Oppizzoni, closed and sold of the Alemanni church, and instead made the sanctuary the local parish.
[2] The Alemanni church, once named either for German students at the University of Bologna housed at a local hostel,[3] or perhaps for being the site of worship for members of a Teutonic Order.
[5] The church once held a wooden crucifix by Alessandro Algardi, and a copy of the Virgin of St Luke by Guido Reni.
