Basilica of St. Bellinus, Minor basilica and parish church in San Bellino, Italy.

The Basilica of St. Bellinus is a three-nave church with a cruciform plan, oriented to the east and standing on a large churchyard in the centre of the village. Its two-storey facade is divided by Doric pilasters, with a round-arched portal, a small rose window framed by two angel statues, and a triangular gable. The late Romanesque bell tower of exposed stone has four storeys and dates from the early 16th century.

Bellinus Bertaldi, Bishop of Padua, was murdered between 1147 and 1148 by assassins sent by the Paduan lord Tomaso Capodivacca-Capineri. His remains were first placed in San Giacomo di Lugarano, then moved to the collegiate church of San Martino di Variano after a flood destroyed that building; around 1276 the church took his name. The present church was rebuilt from 1649 by archpriest Cesare Graziadei with contributions from the population, and Pope Clement XIII raised it to minor basilica in 1774.

The village and the diocese of Adria venerate Bellinus as their patron; his feast is tied to the return of the requisitioned bells in 1947, the eighth centenary of his death. Inside, the altarpiece painted by Mattia Bortoloni in 1736 shows the bishop with his pastoral staff and keys protecting a boy from a rabid dog, a scene locals read as his protection.

The church, campanile and adjoining square form one complex in the centre of the village, so the facade and the late Romanesque bell tower can be seen from the piazza. The bell tower has four tiers separated by cornices, the top one being the bell chamber. The 18th-century statues of Saints Martin and Bellinus, once in the facade niches, now stand in the side niches of the main altar inside.

The bell tower, in late Romanesque style and built of exposed stone in the early 16th century, kept its largest bell in 1943: on 27 February three bells were requisitioned, but the biggest could not pass through the belfry's biforas. The bells returned in 1947 for the eighth centenary of Saint Bellinus's death.
