San Bartolomeo Apostolo

San Bartolomeo Apostolo, Romanesque church in Fiumalbo, Italy.

San Bartolomeo Apostolo is the parish church of Fiumalbo, with a three-nave interior and a Baroque wooden coffered ceiling. The main portal is carved in stone and dated 1594. Behind the high altar, a high relief shows a lady on horseback with a warrior, identified as Matilda of Canossa and Guido Guerra at the Battle of Sorbara.

A chapel in Fiumalbo is first cited in 1197, when residents and the curate swore loyalty to Modena; it was rebuilt in 1220. The present church was built perpendicular to the earlier one between 1588 and 1592, enlarged in 1631, and given eight lateral chapels with an expanded presbytery, choir and nave in 1826. The earthquake of 7 September 1920 damaged it, and it was restored in 1926.

Behind the main altar, a high relief carved into the wall shows a lady on horseback with a warrior; tradition identifies them as Matilda of Canossa and Guido Guerra at the Battle of Sorbara. The church also holds a silver processional cross made by Jacopo and Antonio da Porto in 1494 and a silver Madonna by Paolo Borroni.

The church stands in the centre of Fiumalbo, in the province of Modena. The main portal of carved stone dates from 1594, and the remains of the earlier apse are still visible on the exterior. Inside, the three naves and the baroque wooden coffered ceiling are the elements to look for.
