The church of San Dionigi is a religious building located in Vigevano, in province of Pavia and diocese of Vigevano, deconsecrated and since 2009 used as an auditorium. [1]
It is documented that, before the current building, there was a church of the same name on the site in 1323, probably built before the year 1000, but no trace remains about this: in a will of that year there is in fact mention of a frater Bregundius de Gravelona rector el minister ordinis fratrum paupertatis S. Dionysii de Vigievano. [2] This church was also called the "House of Alms".
Another church was created on the first building, traces of which date back to the mid-fifteenth century. The construction of the new building began in 1750, the dome was built in 1780 and half a century later the bell tower was renovated. Finally, between 2007 and 2009, the building underwent a very radical restoration and the church was transformed into an auditorium. [3]
Located in Piazza Martiri della Liberazione, the church of San Dionigi is a building in baroque style with very ancient origins; the façade is attributed to the architect Giovanni Ruggeri. There are five altars in the building: the main one, with variegated and polychrome marbles, is placed in the centre. The floor at the entrance is made up of a granite slab that covers the tomb of the executed, which also explains the dedication of the church: in fact, there was a congregation of the same name that took care of the burials of those condemned to death.
