Chiesa parrocchiale di San Genuario

This is a church of Romanesque origin, though its bones tell a longer story. The three-aisled structure still shows its age in the traces of an old apse at the base of the bell tower, in the small arches closing the exterior of the main apse, and in the arched windows along the south flank. Inside, the semicircular apse holds the choir, backed by carved wooden stalls. The main altar, a lavish affair entirely of polychrome marble, supports a large wooden and plaster crucifix beneath a canopy; three marble steps lead up to it. The raised presbytery is enclosed by a marble balustrade that extends into the side aisles. These side aisles hold four smaller altars: two against the rear walls, one a simple marble base with a statue of the Redeemer, the other a carved and gilded Baroque piece with twisted columns, and two more in the centre, brick altars covered in painted scagliola. A large painting of the Madonna, Child, and Saint Genuario hangs above a square opening in the apse’s back wall.
