The Church of St. Fermo - Verona

This is an 11th Century church.  Inside there is an upper church (Gothic), known for it's ribbed vaulted wooden ceiling and the 14th and 15th century frescoes;  and a lower church (Romanesque) which is still used during the winter for religious services.

The air bombardments of the War (1944-45) destroyed the cloisters but the bombs didn't destroy the church.  The restorations of the frescos, of the chapel and of the wooden ceiling of the church were due to donations.
