The Church of Santo Stefano, also known as the Parish Church of Basilicagoiano, is a Catholic place of worship with Renaissance and Neo-Renaissance architecture, located at Via Parma 93 in Basilicagoiano, a hamlet of Montechiarugolo, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish in the Pedemontana pastoral area. HISTORY The original Romanesque parish church was built in the Middle Ages at the behest, according to tradition, of the Bishop of Piacenza; the church was consecrated on July 4, 1169. The episcopal authority of Piacenza over the Plebs quae vocatur Basilica Giuliani, as the village of Basilicagoiano was then known, was confirmed in 1199 with a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent. The church was also mentioned as a dependency of the bishop of Piacenza in the Capitulum seu Rotulus Decimarum of the diocese of Parma in 1230;[2] at the time, the chapels of San Quintino in Montechiarugolo, San Donnino in Monticelli, and Santa Felicola in the abbey of the same name were subject to the parish church. The oldest evidence of the church's dependence on the diocese of Parma dates back only to 1560;[2] during the 16th century, the place of worship was also completely rebuilt in Renaissance style and in 1564 it was equipped with a choir. In 1717, the four Baroque side chapels were built. Between 1936 and 1937, the place of worship was restored and modified with the addition of the new neo-Renaissance façade.
