Purificazione della Beata Vergine Maria

The Purificazione della Beata Vergine Maria is a church combining Romanesque and Renaissance elements in the village of Felino. The building features a single nave with three side chapels and a symmetrical facade where a brick-framed central entrance stands out.

The church was first documented in 1230 when it served as a chapel under the parish of Sant'Antonino Martire. Over time it grew into a larger place of worship, absorbing architectural influences as it developed.

The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and this connection shows itself in the artworks that visitors encounter inside. The frescoes and altar paintings within depict Mary with the Christ Child alongside various saints from different periods.

The building sits on Piazza Achille Miodini in the village center and is easy to locate. After earthquake damage in 2008, structural reinforcement was completed in 2013, making the interior safe to visit.

The bell tower was damaged during a storm in 1896 and was later rebuilt in Neo-Romanesque style. This reconstruction added new architectural details to the original structure that remain visible today.
