Catalogue Note
The church of S. Egidio on the outskirts of Piacenza was founded in 701AD and became a Templar church in the late thirteenth century; only a few ruins survive and the baroque church of S. Giuseppe all'Ospedale now stands in that location. This volume details some of the agricultural land and buildings belonging to that church.
