It is located on Corso Canalgrande, number 75. ==History== Built on the site of a prior 13th century church, the [[Theatine order]] tore down the structure to build a new church. The layout of the church resembles that of other Theatine churches ~~suchs~~such as [[Sant'Andrea della Valle]] in Rome. With a long nave and a number of side chapels. The architect, sometime after 1634, was [[Bartolomeo Avanzini]]. The interior stucco was mainly the work of Avanzini, who was also active in similar decoration at the [[Ducal Palace of Sassuolo]]. InOn May 13, 1944, a bomb destroyed the presbytery and choir, destroying the apse and cupola frescoes (1671) by [[Sigismondo Caula]]. The apse, now bare, had a ''Glory of St Vincent''. The main altar, restored after the bombing, was carved by [[Tommaso Loraghi]]. A funeral chapel for the ~~Dukes~~House of [[Austria-Este ~~and their family~~]] was built in 1836 by [[Francis IV, Duke ~~Francesco~~of IVModena]] using designs by [[Francesco Vandelli]].<ref>[http://turismo.comune.modena.it/it/canali-tematici/scopri-il-territorio/arte-e-cultura/chiese-pievi-battisteri/chiesa-di-san-vincenzo Comune of Modena] Tourism entry on church.</ref> The first chapel on the left has an altarpiece of ~~‘’St~~''St Gregory ~~reading’’~~reading'' by [[Guercino]].<ref>[http://www.paesionline.it/modena/monumenti_ed_edifici_storici/chiesa_di_san_vincenzo.asp Paesi On line website], entry on church.</ref> ==References== Line 31: ==External links== *[[:it:File:Chiesa di San Vincenzo Modena.jpg\|Image of the Church of San Vincenzo]] ([[Italian Wikipedia]]) {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Vincenzo}} [[Category:~~Churches~~Roman Catholic churches completed in ~~Modena~~1761]] [[Category:17th-century ~~architecture~~Roman Catholic church buildings in Italy]] [[Category:~~1619~~Roman ~~establishments~~Catholic churches in Modena]] [[Category:1634 establishments in Italy]] [[Category:Baroque architecture in Modena]]
