History

The whole church, except the choir, was rebuilt in a Neoclassical-style in 1840. It houses an altarpiece by one of the painters of the family of Sigismondo Benini.

Neoclassical architecture is an architectural style produced by the neoclassical movement that began in the mid-18th century. In its purest form, it is a style principally derived from the architecture of classical antiquity, the Vitruvian principles, and the work of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio.

Sigismondo Benini was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Lombardy, painting landscapes or vedute. He was born in Cremona, and trained with Angelo Massarotti. His son Giuseppe Benini also painted landscapes. His grandson Luigi Benini, died at age 34 years. He had studied in Rome and returned to Cremona in 1790.

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
