The church of Sant'Anna alle Paludi dates back to the 14th century when it was built by the University of Hortolani, although very few traces of the original structure remain, mainly due to the renovations of the 18th-19th and early 20th centuries. The church has a single nave designed according to the original 18th-century plan.

Chiesa di Sant'Antonin

Chiesa di Sant'Antonin

, IT

The church of Sant'Antonino martire is first mentioned in the 12th century. It is believed that the church of Sant'Antonino was first rebuilt in the Venetian-Byzantine style between the 12th and 13th centuries. It then underwent various reconstructions that gave it a Gothic appearance. In the second half of the 17th century, it was completely rebuilt according to a project attributed to Baldassare Longhena, who was in fact the supervisor of the work. The bell tower was completed in 1750, apparently to a design by the parish priest of the time, Antonio Fusarini.

Roma, IT

The church of Sant'Antonio Abate all'Esquilino had an annexed hospital, predating the church and built in the second half of the 13th century, for the treatment of people suffering from "St Anthony's fire" (Shingles). The church was built in 1308 to replace a pre-existing church called Sant'Andrea cata barbara (from the 5th century); it was then rebuilt in 1481 by Pope Sixtus IV and underwent a new internal restoration in the 18th century. The façade, on the other hand, is the work of Antonio Muñoz and dates from the restoration of the church in the first half of the 20th century. In 1928, the church and its surroundings were purchased by the Holy See; the church was given to the Russian Catholics of the Byzantine rite.

Chiesa di Sant'Antonio Abate

Chiesa di Sant'Antonio Abate

Milano, IT

The church of Sant'Antonio Abate was built in the 13th century on the site of a 4th-century temple. The present church, however, is a reconstruction from the Mannerist period (1582). The church has a beautiful 15th-century bell tower, restored by Luca Beltrami, and a terracotta cloister, dating from the early 16th century. In 1577 it was entrusted to the Theatines. The Theatines fitted out the cloisters and commissioned Dionigi Campazzo, one of the architects of the Ca' Granda, to rebuild the church in the Counter-Reformation style. A second decorative campaign began in the third decade of the 17th century.
