Along Via Roma, behind the church of Sant’Agostino is the church of Sant’Antonio Abate and Santa Caterina. The façade, which dates back more than a century ago, was built to a design by the architect Guglielmo Meluzzi and incorporates the plastic motifs of the ground floor of the nearby Sant’Agostino bell tower.
The church is harmonic as a whole, with very simple lines, without decorative cycles. To decorate the church we find only the many works that over time have come from other buildings and arranged in different environments. The first thing you notice are the paintings of considerable size, arranged along the entire perimeter of the church, which cover the walls of the aisles and the counter-façade wall. The paintings are nothing more than the works created every year, in competition for the manifestation of the “I Pugnaloni”.
