Santa Maria Maggiore, Parish church in Monteforte d'Alpone, Italy

The church features a single-aisle layout with two side chapels and four half-moon windows adorned with artistic stained glass panels.

Construction of Santa Maria Maggiore began in 1207, with major renovations starting in 1805 under architect Bartolomeo Giuliari until completion in 1866.

The interior floor combines white limestone and red coral marble, while wooden furnishings were crafted by Giuseppe Vesentini's workshop.

Located in Piazza S. Venturi, the church serves as a central religious gathering point for the Diocese of Verona's Eastern Vicariate.

The bell tower, built between 1894 and 1897, reaches 71.5 meters and contains nine bells cast by Cavadini of Verona.
