San Leopoldo, Neoclassical church in Follonica, Italy
The San Leopoldo church exhibits a Latin cross layout with a cast iron pronaos, decorated entablature, and detailed columns along its facade.
The construction of San Leopoldo began in 1836 under Grand Duke Leopold II and was completed in 1841, marking a period of architectural innovation.
The church friezes portray Saint Leopold distributing goods to poor people, representing the social reforms implemented in the Maremma region.
