    The Church of Santa Cristina is located in via Repubblica in Parma.

    The original church dates back to at least the tenth century and marked Parma's eastern border in the early Middle Ages (the church also gave its name to one of the city's gates, the one that opened onto the Via Emilia towards Reggio). The apse of the building faced east and the façade to the current Piazza Garibaldi.

    At the request of Duchess Margherita Aldobrandini, widow of Ranuccio Primo Farnese, Pope Urbano Ottavo Barberini entrusted the Church of Santa Cristina and other nearby buildings to the order of Chierici Regolari Teatini, who ruled the church until 1805.

    From 1649, the Theatine Fathers completely rebuilt the church and the adjoining monastery. The works ended in 1662.

    The fresco decoration of the entire church was entrusted, for the figures, to the Florentine painter Filippo Maria Galletti, a theatine clergyman, who had already produced paintings for other churches of his order.

    The altarpieces are mostly the work of Giovanni Battista Venanzi from Pesaro.
