Corpus Domini, Bologna

The Church of Corpus Domini, also known as the Chiesa della Santa, is a Roman Catholic church in Bologna. It is part of an active monastery complex of the order of Clarissan nuns, that is nuns of the contemplative Second Order of St. Francis. The monastery is semi-cloistered. The complex hosts a museum dedicated to nurses and nursing, inaugurated by Cardinal Giorgio Gusmini in 1919. The museum has written and perhaps painted works of Saint Caterina de' Vigri, also known as Saint Catherine of Bologna (1413–1463). The church structure was built in 1478 and decorated in the 17th century, among the works are: Frescoes of a "Glory of Angels" in apse and "Evangelists" in medallions by Marcantonio Franceschini
