Santi Pietro e Girolamo

The Santi Pietro e Girolamo church stands on a hilltop surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, featuring a large portico that wraps around three sides of the building.

Following the destruction of the original parish church in 1944, architect Giovanni Michelucci designed this new structure, which was completed during Christmas 1952.

The interior design includes a curvilinear ceiling above the main altar and different lighting schemes that create distinct environments within the church spaces.

The baptistery, positioned to the right of the nave, maintains a separate entrance from the portico, allowing independent access for religious ceremonies.

Michelucci designed this church as a 'house for all,' incorporating traditional materials to establish a connection with local rural architecture.
