Madonna di Galliera, Bologna, Renaissance church building in central Bologna, Italy
The stone facade of Madonna di Galliera displays ornate sculptures by Zilio Montanari, complemented by its Baroque interior decorations and multiple chapels.
The church started as a charitable establishment in 1304 by the Confraternity of the Shameful Poor before its reconstruction in the fifteenth century.
The church interior contains frescoes by Giuseppe Marchesi and altarpieces by Francesco Albani, Guercino, and Lorenzo Pasinelli depicting religious scenes.
Located on Via Manzoni, the church remains open to visitors who can observe the main altar designed by Francesco Galli Bibiena around 1750.
The sacristy houses a collection of paintings by Giovan Andrea and Elisabetta Sirani, while stucco angels by Giuseppe Mazza adorn the main altar.
