San Donnino, Bologna, Catholic parish church in San Donato-San Vitale, Bologna, Italy

San Donnino is a parish church in Bologna, rebuilt in 1954–55 by Pietro Bolognesi after World War II bombing. It has a dark exposed-stone exterior and a white-plastered interior with paintings. The bell tower, visible from the A14 motorway and the tangenziale, rises above the noise barriers.

A document of 18 October 1198 records the purchase of land at Sancto Dunino; the original Romanesque church was consecrated in 1206. It was rebuilt in the mid-16th century and again at the end of the 18th century, and after World War II bombing it was rebuilt in its present form between 1954 and 1955 to a design by Pietro Bolognesi. In 1947 it became a parish church as the area urbanised.

The parish takes its name from Saint Domninus of Fidenza, to whom the church is dedicated. The 16th-century altarpiece of the Madonna and Child in Glory with Saints Paul, Blaise, Domninus, Pancras and Apollonia was commissioned in 1526 by Annibale Gozzadini and is traditionally attributed to Bartolomeo Ramenghi da Bagnacavallo, though recent studies link it to the school of Niccolò Pisano.

The church is located on Via San Donnino and welcomes visitors during regular worship services and visiting hours. Those interested in exploring the religious architecture should plan their visit around active parish activities to fully appreciate the space.

The church underwent two major reconstruction processes in its modern history, first in 1707 and again after World War II destruction. These repeated rebuildings demonstrate how the community maintained continuity despite severe interruptions.
