San Vincenzo, Modena, Baroque church in Modena, Italy
The San Vincenzo church features a long nave with side chapels, constructed according to the Theatine order architectural principles of the 17th century.
Built on a 13th-century church site, architect Bartolomeo Avanzini designed the new structure after 1634, with the facade completed in 1761.
The interior holds works by notable artists, including an altarpiece by Guercino depicting Saint Gregory and frescoes created by Sigismondo Caula.
Located at Corso Canalgrande 26 in Modena, the church contains a funeral chapel constructed in 1836 for the House of Austria-Este.
During World War II, a 1944 bomb destroyed the presbytery and choir, leading to extensive restoration of the main altar with Tommaso Loraghi carvings.
