Sant'Agnese, Lodi
Facade
The Facade resembles that of the Lodi Cathedral. Its defining characters are its accentuated vertical extension, arched windows, a staggered cornice, unique pointed pinnacles, and Acroterion decoration.
Interior
The interior has three naves of equal height supported by ornate groin-vaults. This is supported by rows of cylindrical pillars. The original structure is almost entirely intact, although the original late-Gothic paintings which adorned the walls have not survived.
The Galliani Polyptych
The church houses a large polyptych by Albertino Piazza. The most important piece of art in the church, it was painted in 1520 which originally served as the Altarpiece. It was later relocated to a chapel on the first chapel of the right side of the aisles. The Tympanum shows a representation of the white dove between rays of light, a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The lunette shows a representation of God the Father imparting a blessing, flanked by scenes of annunciation.
