San Sigismondo, Renaissance church in Cremona, Italy.

The San Sigismondo church features a single nave with lateral chapels and contains frescoes by multiple artists from northern Italy.

Bianca Maria Visconti initiated the church construction in 1463 to commemorate her marriage to Francesco Sforza, marking the transfer of Milan's duchy.

The interior decoration campaign started in 1535 with Camillo Boccaccino's work on the apse dome, followed by contributions from Giulio and Bernardino Campi.

The church stands near the Maggiore Hospital of Cremona, with direct public transportation lines serving the area.

The refectory contains a Last Supper painting from 1508 by Tommaso Aleni, introducing new imagery inspired by Leonardo's work in Milan.
