San Procolo

San Procolo dates back to the 11th Century and was one of the first seats of the Benedictines. It was built over the tomb of San Procolo and became a meeting place for student associations. The façade is Gothic, and is enhanced by a beautiful portal which used to contain a fresco by Lippo Dalmasio in the lunette above it. This fresco is now inside the church, in the fourth chapel on the left. There are two memorial stones on the left hand side of the façade. The epigraph on the smaller of the stones cites a Latin tongue-twister which describes a curious little anecdote, while the other is dedicated to two Doctors.
