Chiesa dei Santi Giuseppe, Rita e Tecla

The Chiesa dei Santi Giuseppe, Rita e Tecla is a Roman Catholic parish church in central Bologna, built in 1639 in the Baroque style and designated an Italian national monument. Its triple dedication — to Saint Joseph, Rita of Cascia, and Thecla of Iconium — reflects the Counter-Reformation practice of invoking multiple patron saints to broaden a congregation's devotional appeal. Today it functions as an active place of worship, offering a quiet pause from the surrounding streets of Bologna's historic centre.
