Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pomposa, Romanesque church in Modena, Italy
The Santa Maria della Pomposa features a single nave with shallow chapels separated by freestanding columns and an unfinished facade with medieval door traces.
The first records of the church date back to 1153, when it belonged to the Pomposa Abbey, and underwent complete reconstruction from its foundations in 1716.
The interior walls display six paintings depicting scenes from Saint Sebastian's life, created by the Modenese painter Bernardino Cervi in the early 1600s.
The church opens every day from Monday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, then from 2:00 PM until 7:00 PM without admission fees.
Behind the main altar stands a canvas from 1654 by Jean Boulanger, copying Correggio's original work showing Saints Geminiano, Sebastian, Rocco, and the Madonna.
