More Parma Churches

But not too many more...
Just east of the duomo is the monastery
church of St. John the Evangelist...mostly
16th century




















Stern to bow shot; note the floor tile, which runs throughout














View from altar


















Coronation














More Corregio














Interesting St. John receiving the Revelation, over the west
door















And now for something completely different: in the monastery
museum next door, this interesting scene, identified only as
"Luigi Tessoni, 1987, Parma, Italia"; Tessoni died in 1988, and
there was a retrospective of his work some years back at the
monastery; the above was in a closed off room


















Moving right along, we were in the Church of St. Mary della
Steccata, and I was snapping another apparent swirler, when
Vicki observed a Celebration was in progress and that I
should show more respect..."fanculo quella merda" I muttered,
respectfully...

Love the floor tiles and the paintings.
