The Church of Santa Felicita is a Catholic place of worship with Romanesque and Baroque architecture, located in the small village of Prelerna, a hamlet of Solignano, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish within the pastoral area of Montagna.
HISTORY:
The original place of worship was built in the Middle Ages; the earliest evidence of its existence dates back to 1230.
In 1530, the church was elevated to an independent parish seat.
In 1683, the temple was modified with the construction of the chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony and the demolition of the side wall of the nave.
During the 18th century, the building was restored to its vaulted ceilings over the nave and to the chapels; during the work, the choir was enlarged. Furthermore, in 1730 the pilasters supporting the vaults were built and the floors were redone.
In 1900 the bell tower was raised.
In 1908 the place of worship was restored and structurally strengthened.
In 1950 the vaults covering the nave were demolished and replaced with a wooden coffered ceiling, which was again replaced in 1980 with a series of laminated wood trusses.
In 1997 the church, statically compromised, was closed for worship due to unsafety.
Between 2017 and 2018 the temple underwent restoration and structural consolidation work, designed by architects Barbara Zilocchi and Giovanni Signani; upon completion of the work, it was reopened for worship.
