San Tommaso Apostolo Church, Romanesque church in Acquanegra sul Chiese, Italy.

San Tommaso Apostolo is a Romanesque monastic church in Acquanegra sul Chiese, with a Latin-cross plan, three naves and a projecting transept. The central nave is lit by eight single-lancet windows, four per side, and its walls carry 44 biblical figures identified by painted names or scroll verses. The brick exterior preserves much of the original perimeter masonry, while the facade, side chapels, bell tower and apse were reworked later.

The church originated from a medieval Benedictine monastery, possibly connected to the Abbey of Leno. Its construction reflects how Benedictine communities established religious centers in the region.

The church served as a spiritual center for the Benedictine community and shaped religious life in the area for centuries. Today, the decorated walls and layout show how medieval faith was expressed through art and architecture.

The church is located on Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Diocese of Mantua and hosts regular religious services. Visitors should know that opening times may vary depending on religious events and services.

The nave walls carry 44 painted figures, identified by inscriptions or the biblical verses on their scrolls as Old Testament texts in sequence: Malachi, Zephaniah, Nahum, Micah, Judas Maccabeus, Judith. Above the left arches runs the story of Saint Jerome's lion, wrongly accused of eating a donkey; above the right arches, Balaam and his ass.
