A highlight of Lodi!

The Tempio Civico della Beata Vergine Incoronata, also known as the Sanctuary of the Incoronata, is a Catholic church in Lodi, Lombardy, Italy, and a masterpiece of Lombard Renaissance art. Origins: The temple was built starting in 1488, following reported miracles in 1487, when a fresco of the Virgin Mary on a brothel’s facade in Via Incoronata (formerly Contrada Lomellini) allegedly wept during a fight. This prompted the citizens of Lodi to construct a civic temple dedicated to the Crowned Virgin. Civic Significance: The term "Civico" (municipal) reflects its ownership by the Lodi commune, not the diocese, as it was funded and promoted by citizens and local authorities, symbolizing civic pride and devotion. Construction: Designed by Giovanni Battagio, a pupil of Bramante, construction began on May 29, 1488. Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono took over in 1489, completing the dome by 1491, and Lorenzo Maggi finished the bell tower in 1503. The facade was completed in 1879 by Alfonsino Truzzi.

Best.

Built in 1488 by Dolcebuono who was a pupil of Bramante. Decorated by Amadeo. Well worth a visit.

Very beautiful place

(Translated by Google) The church owes its origins to some events that took place in 1400. In this point, which was called the Lomellini district, there was a tavern frequented by prostitutes, on whose external wall there was a fourteenth-century fresco depicting the Crowned Mary and baby Jesus. On 7 October 1487, according to tradition, the Madonna began to cry and perform miraculous deeds. The faithful called for the construction of a church dedicated to Marian worship. The most illustrious families of the city supported the initiative by commissioning a certain Battaglio, a pupil of Bramante, to be an architect from Lodi. The fresco of the crowned Mary was moved inside the church, to the main altar. The Renaissance architecture of the temple and the perspective of the eight niches is strongly inspired by the teachings of Bramante. The organ we see was built in 1507. Many of the works we see were painted by the Piazza family of artists from Lodi. (Original) La chiesa deve le sue origini ad alcuni avvenimenti che avrebbero avuto luogo nel 1400. In questo punto, che si chiamava contrada Lomellini, si trovava una taverna frequentata da prostitute, sul cui muro esterno campeggiava un affresco trecentesco raffigurante Maria Incoronata e Gesù bambino. Il 7 ottobre 1487, secondo la tradizione, la madonna incominciò a lacrimare e a compiere fatti miracolosi. I fedeli invocarono la costruzione di una chiesa dedicata al culto mariano. Le famiglie più illustri della città appoggiarono l’iniziativa incaricando un architetto lodigiano un certo Battaglio, allievo del Bramante. L’affresco di Maria incoronata fu trasferito all’interno della chiesa, sull’altare maggiore. L’architettura rinascimentale del tempio e la prospettiva delle otto nicchie è fortemente ispirata agli insegnamenti del Bramante. L’organo che vediamo è stato costruito nel 1507. Molte delle opere che vediamo furono dipinti dalla famiglia di artisti lodigiana dei Piazza.

(Translated by Google) Piazza della Vittoria is the living room of this beautiful city. The square is surrounded by buildings with its bars, shops and restaurants under the arcades. In the center is the Cathedral and Palazzo Broletto, seat of the municipality of Lodi. Nearby I recommend a visit to the beautiful Incoronata church, a jewel of the Lombard Renaissance, it's really worth it! (Original) Piazza della Vittoria è il salotto di questa bella città. La piazza è circondata da palazzi con i suoi bar, negozi e ristoranti sotto i portici. Al centro si trova il Duomo e palazzo Broletto sede del comune di Lodi. Nelle vicinanze consiglio una visita alla bellissima chiesa dell'Incoronata, gioiello del rinascimento lombardo, ne vale veramente la pena!

(Translated by Google) We were there in April 2019 on one of our tours to discover the beauties of Lombardy. A splendid square that dates back to the 12th century and in which styles from all eras mix in splendid harmony, so much so that some have called it little Vienna because from the cathedral looking to the right there is a view identical to Vienna. The square surrounds the cathedral which has a splendid Romanesque style façade, from here the porticoes open which house shops, restaurants and bars. (Original) Ci siamo stati ad Aprile 2019 in uno dei nostri tour per scoprire le bellezze della Lombardia. Una piazza splendida che risale al XII secolo e nella quale si mischiamo in splendida armonia stili di ogni epoca, tanto che da qualcuno é stata definita la piccola Vienna perché dalla cattedrale guardando verso destra c’é uno scorcio identico a Vienna. La piazza circonda la cattedrale che presenta una splendida facciata in stile Romanico, da qui si aprono i portici che ospitano negozi ristoranti e Bar.

(Translated by Google) This square represents the heart of the city of Lodi. Overlooking it are the Cathedral of the Virgin of the Assumption, the Municipal Palace (Palazzo Broletto) and the Palazzo Vistarini, one of the most beautiful in the city. Since 2004 it has been included in the list of the most beautiful squares in Italy by the Italian Touring Club. Some of the columns that support the porticoes come from the old Laus Pompeia. The facades of the buildings overlooking the square have very small widths. This characteristic is due to the use of the deep but narrow "Gothic Lot", typical of all cities of medieval origin. Designed to make the most of the space overlooking the square. All the buildings have the same characteristics: The shop on the ground floor with a space covered by the portico on the front and the warehouses in the basement, the residence on the upper floor and the courtyard at the back. The paving of the square dates back to the end of the 1400s and is made with river pebbles. In the first half of the 19th century, the center of the quadrilateral was occupied by an imposing equestrian statue of Napoleon Bonaparte, erected by the French general himself to celebrate his victory in the Battle of Lodi. This square has always been at the center of city life. In the Middle Ages, capital executions, fairs and celebrations were held for the arrival of the bishops. (Original) Questa piazza rappresenta il cuore della città di Lodi. Su di essa di affacciano il Duomo della Vergine assunta, il palazzo Municipale (Palazzo Broletto) e il Palazzo Vistarini, uno dei più belli della città. Dal 2004 è stata inserita dal Touring Club Italiano nella lista delle piazze più belle d’Italia. Alcune delle colonne che sorreggono i portici provengono dalla vecchia Laus Pompeia Le facciate degli edifici che si affacciano sulla piazza presentano larghezze molto ridotte. Questa caratteristica è dovuta all’utilizzo del “Lotto Gotico” profondo ma stretto, tipico di tutte le città di origine medievale. Pensato di sfruttare al massimo lo spazio che si affaccia sulla piazza. Tutti gli edifici hanno le stesse caratteristiche: La bottega al pianterreno con uno spazio coperto dal portico sul fronte e i magazzini nel sotterraneo, la residenza al piano superiore e il cortile sul retro. La pavimentazione della piazza risale alla fine del 400 ed è fatta con ciotoli di fiume. Al centro del quadrilatero nella prima metà dell’800 era occupato da un’imponente statua equestre di Napoleone Bonaparte, fatta erigere dallo stesso generale francese per celebrare la sua vittoria nella battaglia di Lodi. Questa piazza è sempre stata al centro della vita della città. Nel medioevo si tenevano le esecuzioni capitali, le fiere e le feste per l’arrivo dei vescovi.

(Translated by Google) A place with great but untapped potential. Lodi is one of the worst provinces in Italy, with no activities for young people, no training opportunities or cultural programs, a large dormitory full of priests and villagers. The only thing it had was security, but lately even that is being lost. (Original) Piazza con grandi potenzialità ma non sfruttate.. Lodi è una delle peggiori province italiane, nessuna attività per i giovani, nessuna possibilità di formazione o di programmi culturali un grosso dormitorio piena di preti e paesani.. l'unica cosa che aveva era la sicurezza ma ultimamente si sta perdendo anche quella.

Stupid City,i walked one hour and I don’t find a stupid bench🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Happening place in Lodi ! Good atmosphere!

(Translated by Google) Dominating the porticoes of Piazza della Vittoria, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is a masterpiece of Lombard Romanesque architecture. Its majestic exterior and sumptuous interior reflect Lodi's importance in the 15th and 16th centuries. Built starting in the 12th century, the Cathedral houses the relics and the remains of the treasure of Saint Bassianus. The Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art can be visited in the nearby Bishop's Palace. (Original) Dominante sui portici di piazza della Vittoria, la cattedrale di santa Maria Assunta è un capolavoro del romanico-lombardo. La sua maestosità esterna e la fastosità interna, riflettono l'importanza di Lodi nel Quattro-cinquecento. Edificato a partire dal dodicesimo secolo, il Duomo ospita le reliquie e quel che resta del tesoro di san Bassiano. Nel vicino palazzo vescovile si può visitare il Museo diocesano di Arte sacra.

Theatre right in the city centre, conveniently located.

(Translated by Google) The Teatro alle Vigne is the main theater in the city of Lodi. However, it wasn't always theater; originally, the building was the canonical church of San Giovanni and Ognissanti alle Vigne of the Umiliati order. Over time, it has hosted a higher institute of theology, morality and philosophy, a monastery and a college. The original project is commonly attributed to the Barnabite architect Carlo Ambrogio Mazenta (Magenta, 1565-1635). Only in 1985 did the ancient church officially become a theater and its first artistic director was Carlo Rivolta. If I have been useful to you, follow me and leave me a like! 👍🏼☺ (Original) Il Teatro alle Vigne è il principale teatro della città di Lodi.

Il progetto originale viene comunemente attribuito all'architetto barnabita Carlo Ambrogio Mazenta (Magenta, 1565-1635).

Tables and chairs decked out in Lavender Purple, they are eye catching on the famous and busy square. This place is perpetually busy, therefore we had the every right to feel smug when we snagged a very much coveted outdoor table without a reservation.😉 They were fully booked last week. The Sapore di Mare(Bianca) topped with Rucola pizza was satisfying good and a massive Beef Burger with utterly crispy chips on the side that deserves my companion's undivided attention. Service from staffs: very keen and kind.👍🏼

I would never repeat going to this place again and I would you recommend to avoid it. We have reserved a table for 6 people +1 3 years old kid. The order arrived with one hour and 10 minutes delay with two times reminding the waiter that we are expecting our meals that considered 2 pizzas,one hamburger, two salads & mix salami for the kid. Not only the food arrived later but also the quality was chapped: raw pizzas and size of the salad barely covering the dish. After calling the manager we experienced brutal & arrogant attitude like everything that happened was our fault telling us that the reason for the catastrophe was the fact that we arrived at a rush hour. Never,never again!

Food is ok but we waited more than one hour for the pizzas to be served.. Just don't take customers if the kitchen is already too busy

Ok 👍

Amazing place

Nice sun on the outdoor tables in the early morning. Spacious inside with great options. Low tables. High tables. Booths. Coffee is fine. You are paying for the ambiance. Disconcerting and annoying to be asked for money as soon as you are served at your table. Most people find this understandably annoying but I get it. Music not too loud which is great. Restaurant is affordable and good quality for the price.

Good taste coffee, good patisserie to choose from and the best place to have your coffee in a historical landmark piazza

We stopped by for coffee. There are outside tables and a spacious inside as well. In the toilets there is a baby changing table.

This is one of my favorite places to get coffee and a sweet treat like macaroons or one of their wide selection of cakes! They also make fantastic pizza and have good apperitives. Young people love hanging outside at the tables overlooking Lodi's town square whereas the area inside at the back of the restaurant is classy - perfect for an Italian dinner.

Great coffee and croissant for breakfast... cool drinks through the day and a fantastic pizza last night... all with amazing service and awesome location... 👏👏👏👏

Food is alright but way too expensive. Terrible service, got screamed at, servers make no efforts for tourists. The only things that’s remotely alright in this establishment is a server called Louis. We got scammed out of our money, payed for tap water and got pressured by an unkind woman into paying said water when we didn’t want to. This place is an obvious tourist scam. We were moved from our seats into an awkward spot next to the service area by the same aggressive woman. Avoid at all costs, best to eat dog poop than having to walk into that place. TOURIST SCAM!!!

Fakely luxurious. A bit overpriced. Not very friendly. Hadn't been in this place since childhood; we went in on a Friday afternoon for a coffee/tea. It wasn't crowded; there were a few open tables and were quickly seated. 20 min later, we walked out because the only server had utterly ignored us and didn't care to serve us at all...

Amazing service and food. Superb wine.

(Translated by Google) L'Enorafo di Lodi is a restaurant known for its traditional Italian cuisine and welcoming environment. The gnocchi are soft but you can't say wow, the melon with Parma ham were not bad, the aubergine parmigiana is rich and tasty, the grilled vegetables with buffalo mozzarella which I don't like 👎🏻 (Original) L'Enorafo di Lodi è un ristorante noto per la cucina tradizionale italiana e l'ambiente accogliente. Gli gnocchi sono morbidi ma non si può dire wow, il melone con prosciutto di Parma erano non male, la parmigiana di melanzane è ricca e saporita, le verdure grigliate con mozzarella di bufala che non mi piacciono 👎🏻

(Translated by Google) Yummy! All! Good aperitif and dinner, the dishes not on the menu are the ones to take, but also the sliced ​​meat and chips (so good, to die for!). A quiet evening, in a light atmosphere and good music, perfect service. I have no words everything was good! Not too expensive but not cheap, however I would recommend us to all my friends :) (Original) Buonissimo! Tutto! Aperitivo e cena buoni, i piatti fuori menù sono quelli da prendere, ma anche la tagliata e patatine (da morire che buone!). Una serata tranquilla, in un'atmosfera leggera e musica buona, servizio perfetto. Non ho parole tutto era buono! Non troppo caro ma non economico, cmq ci consiglierei per tutti i miei amici :)

(Translated by Google) Very popular wine shop. It is advisable to book a table. There are also tables in the gallery, with infrared lamps to warm up. There are several labels to choose from. Not an exceptional aperitif. Adequate prices. (Original) Enoteca molto gettonata. Conviene prenotare il tavolo. Ci sono tavoli anche in galleria, con lampade a infrarossi per scaldarsi. Ci sono diverse etichette tra cui scegliere. Aperitivo non eccezionale. Prezzi adeguati.

(Translated by Google) A wine bar in downtown Lodi with a decent selection of wines at a reasonable markup. The only downside is that they brought me a bottle of a different vintage than the one listed on the menu. If you're looking for dinner, the menu offers a few varied dishes to suit all tastes. The menu also includes some tapas for an aperitivo, but I found them too simple and homey. The bill for a full meal comes to around €30 per person, including a bottle of wine (low-to-medium range). (Original) Enoteca in centro a Lodi con una discreta selezione di etichette a cui viene applicato un rincaro accettabile. Unico neo, mi è stata portata al tavolo una bottiglia di annata diversa rispetto a quella indicata in carta. Se volete cenare, la cucina propone pochi piatti, variegati e in grado di accontentare tutti i gusti. Il menù comprende anche alcune tapas con cui fare aperitivo che però mi sono sembrate troppo semplici e "casalinghe". Il conto per un pasto completo ammonta a circa 30 euro a testa con bottiglia di vino (fascia medio-bassa) inclusa.

Great food, lovely setting, excellent service with charming staff. Expensive but worth every euro.

Good food! Perfect service
