San Francesco (Bologna)

San Francesco (Bologna)

San Francesco is a church in Bologna, northern Italy.

It was begun in 1236 by Marco da Brescia and his brother Giovanni, a Franciscan monk.

Despite its Romanesque façade, it is one of the best example of French Gothic style in Italy. This is manifest in the interior, which has a nave and two aisles, in the apse with corridor, in the high vaults divided into six sections (like in Notre-Dame de Paris) with ogival arches, and in the use of buttresses.

The church is home to the monuments of the jurist Accursius and his son Francesco, Odofredus and Rolandino dei Romanzi.
