Read moreIt is the most beautiful religious building in Reggio Emilia. Built in the 16th century, its square is guarded by six imposing lions made of pink Verona marble. The basilica is flanked by a curious octagonal campanile, whose design is said to have been revised by Giulio Romano, a brilliant pupil of Raphael. Inside, the choir and the apse are decorated with a cycle of frescoes by Procaccini (late 16th century): his Last Judgement is said to be inspired by that of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel. Note also the inlaid stalls of the choir, works of Cremonese masters.
