Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo

Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo, Collegiate church in Santarcangelo di Romagna, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo is a collegiate church in Santarcangelo di Romagna, built between 1744 and 1758 to a design by Giovan Francesco Buonamici. Its sober interior recalls Bolognese and Roman styles. In the presbytery are works including a San Michele arcangelo with saints by Giovan Gioseffo Dal Sole, a Sant'Ignazio in estasi by Guido Cagnacci, and a polyptych by Jacobello di Bonomo from about 1385.

Built between 1744 and 1758 to a design by Giovan Francesco Buonamici, already architect of Ravenna Cathedral, the church replaced the ancient pieve of San Michele Arcangelo as the town's main place of worship and absorbed all its assets. From the old pieve comes the Rimini-school crucifix, attributed by some to Pietro da Rimini, kept in the right arm of the transept.

The church holds the body of Blessed Simone Balacchi in a dedicated chapel, and its left side preserves the 14th-century Cappella del Beato Simone with frescoes. The Compianto in papier-mâché at the Madonna Addolorata altar, a Romagna workshop piece from the early 20th century, came from the second altar of the now-deconsecrated Cappella Zampeschi.

The church is regularly open for religious services and welcomes visitors during designated times to explore its architectural features. It is advisable to show respectful behavior, especially when religious ceremonies are taking place.

In the right arm of the transept hangs a Rimini-school crucifix from the old pieve, attributed by some scholars to Pietro da Rimini. The church also keeps the body of Blessed Simone Balacchi in a side chapel, and a 14th-century frescoed chapel, the Cappella del Beato Simone, stands left of the altar.
