Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore

The Santa Maria Maggiore Church features a grand hall with multiple side chapels containing artworks from different historical periods.

The church underwent construction between 1752 and 1757 under the direction of architect Alfonso Torreggiani, replacing an earlier structure from the 13th century.

The main altar, created in 1751, houses an altarpiece by Ubaldo Gandolfi, representing central elements of Catholic religious art.

Located at Via Matteotti 80, the church maintains regular services and offers a mobile application for community updates and event schedules.

In 1410, the church temporarily received cathedral status when the Pope sought refuge there during a plague outbreak in Bologna.
