Also known as the Chiesa Collegiata, this
is Canino's main church, dedicated to St.
Andrew and St. John. Built in the 13th Century
in the Baroque style, inside are various important
works of art, a font from the 1500s and the
Neoclassic chapel dedicated to the Prince
of Canino, Luciano Bonaparte. The brother
of Napoleon, Luciano rebuilt a large part
of the town, created the Terme di Musignano
and was active in the archaeological digs
in Vulci. The chapel contains a bas-relief
attributed to Canova.
Outside, in Piazza De Andreis, is a twelve-sided
fountain by Vignola.

At the top of town, this
complex was commissioned by Francesco
Farnese in the 15th Century, incorporating
the remains of a Romanic structure.
Now in the process of being renovated,
there's a conference room and several
other rooms, sometimes used for exhibitions.
The cloister and chapel are often used
for local weddings. |

Inaugurated in 1891, the theatre
is one of the most obvious results of
the period when Napoleon's brother Luciano
was the Prince of Canino.
The exterior has recently been restored,
while the interior is in the process
of being restored to its former splendour
(the original wooden balconies and seats
were stripped in the 1970s when the
theatre was used as a dance hall and
cinema. |
