Collecchio - Pieve di San Prospero

06 Oct 2016 1 257
In the 11th century a church was erected here on the ruins of a Roman temple. It had a single nave and three apses. As the church was next to the Via Francigena a hospital existed here for the pilgrims on their way to Rome. In the early 13th century the church was modified, as by then it had three aisles. Six side chapels were added in the 16th century. Two centuries later San Prospero got a new facade. When the restoration started in 1912 the side chapels got demolished, to bring back / recreate the original church from the 13th century, that has strong parallels to San Geminiano in Vicofertile (previous uploads), just 5kms north. The capitals here are less "rough" compared to that in Vicofertile. Did people use curling irons already that early?
