San Giovanni Battista Church

Located on the western side of Piazza Matteotti, San Giovanni Battista Church was originally dedicated to San Michele. It was reconstructed in the 16th century, when it was restored to its current appearance. The church took its later name from Confraternita di San Giovanni della Buona Morte, officiating here since August 1, 1774. A 1479 terracotta grouping by Modenese artist Guido Mazzoni, called “Lamentation over the dead Christ” stands in the interior. At the moment it is not open to the public.
