History
Initial construction of a church at the site began in 1386 and ended in 1404, under the commission of Canons Regular of St. Anthony of Vienna. Under the commission of Cardinal Antonio Francesco Sanvitale and a donation by Pope Clement XIII, in the 1800s the church was rebuilt to designs of the architect and decorator Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena. The church was reconsecrated in 1766.
The interior contains decorations by the Paremesan painters Gaetano Ghidetti and Antonio Bresciani; the ceiling frescoes of angels and the 'apotheosis of St. Anthony and the main altarpiece are by Giuseppe Peroni.
The chapels contain paintings by Pompeo Batoni (John the Baptist Preaching), by Giovanni Gottardi , (St Peter Escapes), and by Giambettino Cignaroli (Flight to Egypt). A Madonna of St Jerome by Correggio, was looted to Paris in 1796, but returned in 1814 and now is in Galleria nazionale di Parma.
