The former Church of Sant’Antonio Abate was built in 1330. It is called “former church” because it is no longer used for religious functions. After being severely damaged during the bombings of the Second World War in 1943 and subsequently rebuilt, the church lost its role as a place of worship. There is a cool story related to this church: let's discover it!
