🇮🇹 Chiesa incompiuta del secolo scorso, mai portata a termine con interruzione dei lavori durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.

La storia su: fondoambiente.it/luoghi/duomo-di-brendola-detto-l-incompiuta

🇬🇧 Unfinished church of the last century, never completed with interruption of the works during the Second World War.

The history:

"At a time when parochialism in Brendola was very harsh, the four parish priests of Brendola formed a committee in 1926 to build a new church capable of uniting all the Brendolans under a single central bell tower (also geographically). The 14th of October 1928 bishop Ferdinando Rodolfi arrived at Cerro, the area purchased for construction, giving his approval for the start of the works. Under the project of the architect Fausto Franco, the first stone was laid on October 3, 1931 and immediately the project made use of the 'union of the forces of many Brendolans from every hamlet, strictly volunteers, using the stones of the Monte Comunale and the sand of the Guà, proceeding with such haste to ask the bishop for permission to work on Sunday.
During the summer of 1933 the erected columns were already visible; when the archpriest fell ill two years later, the work did not stop and the heads of the family continued to bring materials and to build. On the top of the facade is placed an imposing statue of St. Michael the Archangel 4 m high, sculpted by Giuseppe Zanetti. In the middle of the Second World War, however, the construction site stopped without starting again, for reasons that are still not completely clear. The building, 28.5 m high with a volume of 1124 m², remains unfinished a step away from completion, clearly visible on the Cerro hill, left to decay for more than 60 years, during which various projects have been proposed without ever conclusion."
