Santa Maria Assunta, Fornovo Taro


Santa Maria Assunta a Fornovo is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic parish church or pieve located in Fornovo di Taro in the region of Emilia Romagna, Italy.

A church at the site is documented since 854, and was initially rebuilt in the 11th century. The bell-tower was added in 1302. The first two chapels were only added to the church in the 14th and 16th centuries. Further ones were added during reconstructions from 1712-1745. A reconstruction in 1927-1945, reverted the church and the facade to its Romanesque elements.

Part of a carved stone pulpit from the 11th century are now part of the facade. Other statuary dates from the 13th century. The main altarpiece depicts the Life of St Margaret.
