San Sisto, Piacenza, Renaissance church in Piacenza, Italy
The church exhibits Renaissance architecture with a facade featuring half-columns, pilasters, and a central rose window framed in a square formation.
Queen Angilberga, wife of Emperor Louis II, established the church and adjacent convent in 874, becoming abbess of the Benedictine convent in 882.
The interior contains frescoes by Antonio and Vincenzo Campi, along with altarpieces by Camillo Procaccini and Jacopo Palma il Giovane in the choir.
