The church of Sant'Egidio is located in the historic center of Mantua on Via Pietro Frattini. A church was located on the site likely by the 9th century, but is documented from the year 1151 in a bull by Pope Eugenius III . In 1540, the chapel of the Valenti was built, commissioned by the last will of Valente Valenti, courtier in the Gonzaga Duchy. Beginning in 1721, the church underwent a major reconstruction, and the present facade dates to that time. In 1777, the cardinal Luigi Valenti reconstructed the family chapel. The interior, mainly the semicircular apse, contains the following canvases: * ''Martyrdom of St Vincenzo Levita'' (1776), by Giuseppe Bottani * ''Martyrdom of St Vincenzo Ferrer'' (1773), by Giovanni Bottani, brother of the above * '' Madonna of the Rosary'' (1777), by Vincenzo Borroni * Altarpiece of ''Charity of St Guerrino'' (1736-1742) by Giovanni Cadioli * Altarpiece of ''Madonna, Child, St Dominic and the Blessed Osanna Andreasi'', (1593), attributed to Teodoro Ghisi 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sant'Egidio (Mantua)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
