Santi Pietro e Paolo, Parish church in Saronno, Italy

The Santi Pietro e Paolo church features a neoclassical facade with two orders, six ionic columns, and five entrance sections with the central one being larger.

Initially dedicated to Santa Maria in 1169, the church received its current dedication to Saints Peter and Paul in the 16th century under Archbishop Carlo Borromeo.

The facade displays bas-reliefs depicting the lives of Saints Peter and Paul, creating a visual narrative for visitors to understand biblical stories.

The church entrance connects to a wide churchyard through three steps, making it accessible from the western side of the building.

In 1923, Pope Pius XI granted the church the status of being affiliated with the Vatican Basilica, elevating its religious importance.
