The Santissima Annunziata, also called the Basilica del Paradiso, is a Renaissance style, Roman Catholic church and convent located on Via Massimo D'Azeglio in Parma, Italy. ==History== The church was built on a site of a convent once occupied by the Franciscan Order outside the city walls, but demolished in 1546 by the Duke Pier Luigi Farnese. Originally the church was dedicated to Saints Gervaso and Protaso. Construction began in 1566, commissioned by Duke Ottavio Farnese and the bishop of Brugnato, and using a design by Giambattista Fornovo. By 1616, construction had stalled, part of the roof fallen in, and there was a failure to complete the planned dome. Only with the intervention of Margherita Farnese (who became a nun) did construction proceeded using an awkward, heavily buttressed dome design by Girolamo Rainaldi. The ayout has a nearly elliptical interior, with two semi-circles joined by two straight lines, which join the apse, ten chapels, and an interior atrium. The convent was designed in part by Giovanni Battista Magnani, with the refectory completed in 1637 and cloister in 1688. The convent includes a large library. The convent contains the rooms and artifacts of the Blessed Lino Maupas (died 1924).〔(Diocese of Parma ), entry on church.〕 In the left atrium there is a copy of the ''Annunciation'' by Correggio (1520), a fresco from the church of the Minors in via Farini.〔Now Coreggio fresco is found in the National Gallery of Parma.〕 In the niche is an polychrome terracotta sculpture depicting ''Ecce Homo'' by Antonio Sbravati, and a ''Martyrdom of Saints Gervaso and Protaso'' (early 19th-century) by Biagio Martini.
