Crossing the Ponte di Mezzo, its majestic bulk which embraces the entire popular district of the city suddenly appears.<\/p>\n<p>The large Franciscan temple was built starting from June 4<sup>th<\/sup> 1566 west of the Parma stream, in the &#8220;co\u2019 di Ponte&#8221;, an urban area inhabited predominantly by popular classes, which had welcomed most of the families from the Lazio region, which had followed the Farneses at the time of their settlement in Parma. The new church was raised, with the patronage of the ducal power, to compensate the Franciscans for the suppression of the church and convent of the same name outside Porta Nuova, which took place at the time of the &#8220;cut&#8221; wanted by Pier Luigi Farnese, and to gain consensus among the popular classes.<\/p>\n<p>The accentuated external movement of the walls does not suggest the calm that is encountered when crossing the very high portico of the Church. Forty-nine windows give a bright and restful atmosphere to the vast elliptical space designed by the Parmesan architect Giambattista Fornovo, embellished by the graceful stucco decorations by the brothers Luca and Giovanni Battista Reti.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>pluteus<\/strong>, the <strong>walnut choir seats<\/strong> and the <strong>table<\/strong> of the <em>Virgin enthroned with child and saints<\/em> by Francesco Zaganelli from Cotignola (1518) come from the ancient church of Porta Nuova, from which the famous <em>Annunciation<\/em> by <strong>Correggio<\/strong>, today kept inside the National Gallery of Parma, was also saved.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>organ<\/strong> built in 1805 by <strong>Giuseppe Serassi<\/strong>, the <strong>eighteenth-century choirs<\/strong>, the <strong>black stone<\/strong> that according to tradition was used by St. Francis of Assisi, small in stature, to speak to the faithful on the occasion of his visit to Parma, the stories of the life of San Pietro d&#8217;Alcantara by <strong>Pier Ilario Spolverini<\/strong> and the delicate monochrome paintings by <strong>Sebastiano Galeotti <\/strong>are just some of the treasures hidden in the great bulk of the temple. The majestic church ended up representing, from the 17th century, the equivalent in terms of ecclesiastical buildings of the monumental complex of Pilotta on the other bank of the Parma stream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Convent of SS. Annunziata<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Convent of SS. Annunziata<\/strong> is known for the apostolate of <strong>Father Lino Maupas<\/strong>, in whose name the friars and the parishioners still dedicate themselves to charitable services. In addition to the Padre Lino\u2019s cell, with its bed, its poor objects, the breviary and the rosary, the sandals broken by the perennial walking, memorabilia, relics, photographs and documents, the Franciscan convent also houses an extraordinary historical and artistic heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Among the numerous works worthy of being discovered, the <strong>Sacristy<\/strong>, with austere walnut furniture from the 16th century that houses precious reliquaries and vestments from the 17th and 18th centuries, the <strong>Ancient Chapter Room<\/strong> with frescoes from the Emilian school of the late 16th century and the two <strong>wooden doors<\/strong>, attributed to the school of <strong>Alessandro Vandone<\/strong>, which from the corridors of the Chapter Hall lead to the monumental 17yh century cloister, an oasis of peace and serenity immersed in the heart of the Oltretorrente.<\/p>\n<p>Reaching the western side of the cloister you find the <strong>Ancient<\/strong> <strong>Refectory <\/strong>and, once on the first floor, the <strong>Chapel for convalescents<\/strong> and the ancient conventual <strong>Library<\/strong>, with its heritage consisting of more than 15,000 volumes, valuable geographical atlases of Dutch origin from the seventeenth century, elegant <em>Bodoniane<\/em>, scientific and medical texts, musical works, papal bills and notarial deeds, testimony of the activity of the scholars who operated for centuries in the convent of SS.
