THE
BASILICA ROMANA MINORE
The
Basilica Romana Minore was completely rebuilt in the XIX century.
When
Francesco Garavaglia was the parish priest in 1884 it was demolished;
it was replaced by a much bigger church which could meet the
needs of a larger population.
Outside
the new church shows a
sober, classical style, although
it’s rich and decorated inside.
In the
years 1849-50 the Serassi Brothers built a very precious organ, which
is still one of the best in Northern Italy with 56 registers and
2268 pipes. It is
listed as a historic monument of Lombardy.
The
church dominates with its
arcades the town square.
Nearby there is the clock tower dating back to 1578.
The
church preserves Teodolinda’s
Ring.
