PARROCCHIA DEI SANTI PIETRO E GIROLAMO DI RASTIGNANO

The new church of St Peter and St Jerome, construction of which was started in 2008, was built in the area owned by the parish behind the historic church, to which it is joined by means of a quadriporticus. The significant urban development of Rastignano between the 1990s and the 2000s made it necessary to build the new church. The church interior features a single nave with an articulated ground plan characterised by recessed volumes. There is a large balcony above the main entrance, reached by means of a circular stairway that winds around the baptistery. The windows for the new church were assigned to Giordano Capiani, a celebrated sculptor from Faenza. The result was a work of art, that not only enhances the church but brings prestige to the entire community of Rastignano.
