San Girolamo dell'Arcoveggio
San Girolamo dell'Arcoveggio is a Roman Catholic parish church located on Via Dell'Arcoveggio in Bologna, Italy.
History
[edit]The church is dedicated to Saint Jerome. The church was first erected in 1338 in the neighborhood of Arcoveggio, so called due to an ancient arch remaining from a Roman bridge that spanned the Savena river. In 1567, cardinal Gabriele Paleotti converts this into a parish church refurbishing the church in neoclassic style. The bell tower dates to 1880.[1][2] An inventory from 1844 noted a painting in the portal of St Jerome. The interior contained altarpieces by il Mastellatta and Ubaldo Gandolfi.[3]
