San Giacomo, Soragna, Church building and Italian national heritage in Soragna, Italy.

San Giacomo is a baroque church in Soragna with elaborate marble carvings, wooden statues, and ornate architectural details throughout its interior. The building displays the typical layout of a religious structure from this period with a main altar area and decorated supporting walls and ceiling.

Architect Ottavio Bettoli designed and oversaw construction of this church between 1755 and 1769, positioning it near the Rocca Meli Lupi palace complex. The timing of its building reflects the era when such religious structures were created as major community projects.

The parish has hosted the "Cantori di Soragna" choir since the 18th century; since 1907 the poliphonic choir "San Pio X", founded by archpriest Davide Vecchi, sings at services and in concerts with an instrumental ensemble of violin, cello, harp, clarinet and organ, now directed by Massimo Reggiani. The sacristy keeps tapestries of 1749 by Giulio Seletti and a credenza of 1741 by Giovanni Battista Galli-Bibiena and Vincenzo Biazzi.

The church is located at Via Cavour 51 in Soragna and welcomes visitors throughout the year for services and visits. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance, as they may vary depending on the season and religious events taking place.

The Dead Christ is a white marble group carved by Alvise da Cà in 1708, kept at a side altar rather than the main one. The main altar is the 1939 polychrome marble structure by Camillo Uccelli, with mosaics by Giuseppe Moroni and a wooden Holy Family carved by the Moroder brothers of Ortisei. The canopy over it was completed by Francesco Galli in 1811.
