Sant'Alessandro, Roman Catholic church in central Parma, Italy.
The Sant'Alessandro church combines Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, featuring ceiling frescoes by Angelo Michele Colonna and an 1856 Sangalli organ.
Founded in 835 under the patronage of Cunegonda, widow of Bernard of Italy, the church received the remains of Pope Alexander I from Pope Gregory IV.
The main altarpiece by Girolamo Bedoli depicts Madonna with child granting St Giustina martyrdom while Saint Benedict presents St Alexander with incense.
Located at Via Garibaldi 14 in Parma, the church stands near the Royal Theater, which replaced part of the former Benedictine monastery.
The church interior contains illusionist cupola frescoes by Alessandro Tiarini showing the Redeemer, Madonna, and saints in celestial compositions.
