San Giovanni Battista di Minerbio

San Giovanni Battista is a Catholic baroque church built in 1737 in Minerbio, a small town roughly 20 kilometres northeast of Bologna. Dedicated to John the Baptist, it reflects the religious architecture typical of 18th-century rural Emilia, where prosperous parishes commissioned ambitious ecclesiastical buildings in the prevailing baroque idiom. Its status as an Italian national monument recognises its architectural and historical value within the region. Today it functions as an active parish church, offering visitors a quietly preserved baroque interior within an otherwise modest agricultural town.
