Sant'Urbano, Apiro, Medieval abbey in Apiro, Italy.

Sant'Urbano in Apiro is a deconsecrated Roman Catholic church and Benedictine abbey on the left bank of the Esinante stream. Its exterior has a large central apse flanked by two smaller apses, and the interior is divided into three naves by cruciform pillars. The church now displays the town's collection of artifacts and paintings.

The abbey began as a Benedictine monastery in medieval times and was transformed into a collegiate church in 1632 through the efforts of physician Giovanni Giacomo Baldini. This shift marked a turning point that reshaped how the community used the sacred space.

The collection is named for Giovanni Giacomo Baldini (1581–1656), the Apiro-born doctor who served Cardinal Scipione Borghese and popes Urban VIII and Innocent X. His 1644 donation of reliquaries and silver goblets formed its core. The baroque sacristy also holds a 1771 Callido organ and woodwork by Andrea Scoccianti (1640–1700).

The collection is shown in the baroque sacristy, where the 1771 Callido organ and Andrea Scoccianti's wooden fittings stand alongside the reliquaries and paintings. The church is deconsecrated, so the visit is a museum-style walk through the former worship spaces rather than a parish visit. Look for the carved capitals in the presbytery, decorated with roosters, whales, lions and vines.

The sacristy organ was built in 1771 by master builder Carlo Callido and represents exceptional craftsmanship of that era. Few visitors stop to appreciate this instrument, even though it offers insight into how music and worship were intertwined in this place.
