Basilica di Sant'Antonio, Minor basilica in Bologna, Italy

The Basilica di Sant'Antonio is a neo-Gothic church in Bologna, built in brick between 1903 and 1904 to a design by engineer Carlo Barbieri. Its facade of reddish-brown brick rises in a taller central section crowned by three pointed pinnacles, with a tall two-part pointed-arch window and a large pointed-arch portal with dark wooden doors. Inside, three naves are painted with scenes from the lives of Saints Francis and Anthony, set off by bands of white and black.

The Franciscans built the convent in 1898–1899 after losing their Annunziata house to the Napoleonic and Savoy suppressions and the 1866 confiscations. The church, designed by engineer Carlo Barbieri, had its first stone laid on 3 September 1903 and was consecrated on 17 October 1904 by Bishop Luigi Canali. Pius XII raised it to minor basilica in May 1939.

The church is the seat of the Antoniano, founded in 1953 by Father Ernesto Caroli, which runs charitable and social work from the adjoining convent. On 13 June, the feast of Saint Anthony, the bell ringers manually sound the five bells "a doppio" in the tower, a fixed annual appointment.

The basilica is open daily to visitors and offers guided tours that provide good insight into the interior layout and artwork. It is advisable to check current opening hours before visiting, especially if religious services are scheduled.

The five bells in the bell tower, cast by the Bolognese founder Cesare Brighenti in G-flat major, use a "double system": an electric chain mechanism for ordinary ringing, but manual ringing by master bell-ringers for solemn "a doppio" performances, fixed each year for the 13 June patronal feast.
