Santa Maria dei Servi is the parish church in the vicariate of the Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta〔Parish Servants in PD - Nativity ' of B.V. Mary, on diocesipadova.it. Accessed 20 July 2014.〕 governed by the order of the Servants of Mary. The churches of St. Canzian and St. Luke are its subsidiaries. For a period the San Zilio and Santa Giuliana were also subsidiaries, until they were closed. The church contains outstanding works of art including a wooden crucifix by Donatello. ==History== The church was built between 1372 and 1390 at the behest of Fina Buzzaccarini, wife of the Prince of Padua, Francis the Old Da Carrara. The building was built on the ruins of the palace of Nicholas Carrara razed after the owner in 1327 betrayed the rule siding with the Scala. In 1378, after his death, he left to his sister Anna Fina, abbess of the monastery of St. Benedict, the task of completing the construction of the church. In 1393 Francesco Novello, son of Fina and lord of Padua gave the church to the Servants of Mary. The church in the sixteenth century was the subject of major landscaping works mainly by Bartolomeo from Campolongo who built in 1511 the porch toward the street; they were employed ten octagonal columns of red marble from the demolition of the fourteenth-century Chapel of the Saint in the Basilica of St. Anthony of Padua, in the reconstruction phase. The church was part of a convent of which were part of the convent of the Servants of Mary, the Oratory of St. Oniobono and that of the guild of Santa Maria del Parto. In 1807 the Servite Fathers had gone and the church was confiscated and forfeited in state assets. It was established as a parish church, run by secular clergy. In the 1920s the interior of the church was restored to the austere appearance from the fourteenth century. The building was returned to the church in 1963 . In June 2014, the Bishop of Padua accepted the request of the Superior of the Order of Servants of Mary to be able to return to their historic church after 207 years of regency by the secular clergy.〔The Servite return to Padua after 207 years / Church / Home - The Defence of the People〕 The delivery charge is on 6 September of the same year.〔Marco Carminati, Donatello forgotten, on arteconomy24.ilsole24ore.com, Gruppo 24 ORE, 30 August 2009.
