Santa Maria Maggiore, Italy

Santa Maria Maggiore, Italy
Roman Catholics form about 80 per cent of Italy’s population, and the religion has played a traditionally large role in the country’s society. Much of the history and culture of Italy centres on the papacy, with churches occupying central positions in both rural and urban communities. The church of Santa Maria Maggiore is located in Como, northern Italy.
