Initial construction of a church at the site began in 1386 and ended in 1404, under the commission of Canons Regular of St. Anthony of Vienna. Under the commission of Cardinal Antonio Francesco Sanvitale and a donation by Pope Clement XIII, in the 1700s the church was rebuilt to designs of the architect and decorator Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena. The church was reconsecrated in 1766.
Artedit
The interior contains decorations by the Paremesan painters Gaetano Ghidetti and Antonio Bresciani; the ceiling frescoes of Angels and the Apotheosis of St. Anthony and the main altarpiece are by Giuseppe Peroni.
The stucco sculptures in the niches around the altar are by Gaetano Callani representing the Beatitudes.[1]
This beautiful church has an unusual "two-layer" ceiling. "Holes" in the usual inner shell allow you to see through to a second, higher ceiling, with further paintings of heavenly bodies. (Only the five holes above the nave in the accompanying photograph are examples of this. The bright openings in the apse are merely normal windows.)
