The Italian Wikipedia article about the town mentions the church, which is named after the patron saint of the town, but it says nothing about it (as of Mar.2022).

A page about the architectural history of the church is incomplete (as of Apr.2022), but does show its location.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the De Poli bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
