This article appears in Volume V04, Page 250 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BORGO SAN DONNINO , a town and episcopal see of Emilia, Italy, in the province of Parma, 14 M. N.W. by
rail
  from the town of Parma. Pop. (1901) town, 6251; commune, 12,109. It occupies the site of the ancient Fidentia, on the Via Aemilia; no doubt, as its name shows, of Roman origin. Here M. Lucullus defeated the democrats under Carbo in 82 B.c. It was independent under Vespasian, but seems soon to have become a
village
  dependent on Parma. Its presdnt name comes from the martyrdom of S. Domninus under Maximian in A.D. 304. The
cathedral
 , erected in honour of this saint, is one of the finest and best-preserved Lombardo-Romanesque churches of the 11th13th centuries in north Italy. The upper
part
  of the facade is incomplete, but the
lower
 , with its three portals and sculptures, is very fine; the interior is simple and well-proportioned, and has not been spoilt by restorations. For the benitier, a
work
  of the early 11th
century
 , see Rdssegna d'Arte, 1905, 180. Not far from the town is the small
church
  of S. Antonio del Viennese, a 13th-
century
  structure in brick (ib., 1906, 22). The Palazzo Comunale, in the
Gothic
 -Lombard style, is a
work
  of the 14th century. Borgo S. Donnino is an important centre for the produce and cattle of Emilia. (T. As.)
