San Giorgio Church

Designed by architect and court designer Gaspare Vigarani in the mid-1600s, the Church of San Giorgio houses a number of Baroque paintings. Its high altar, dating back to 1666 and attributed to Antonio Loraghi, was embellished with an image of the Virgin, added some 30 years later. Vigarani also taught his sons the art of architecture and design – Modena-born Carlo later worked in the court of Louis XIV at Versailles.
