CRITICAL HISTORICAL NEWS
The epigraph was placed by Mons. Lutteri in 1940 for the eightieth anniversary of the foundation of the church. It concentrates pre-existing inscriptions, one of which was placed in the lunette above the entrance door; the other in the Chapel of the Baptistery. The slab is in fact intended as a reminder of the reconstruction of the building and of the dedication to S. Savino in the second half of the century. XIX, at the behest of Count Ferdinando Douglas-Scotti. It also commemorates the high relief of Pier Enrico Astorri (now placed in the central lunette of the portal) donated by Prof. Giuseppe Manfredi to the church in 1910 and consecrated by the Bishop Mons. Giovanni M. Pellizzari on 30 September 1912
