However, today\u2019s building is the result of renovations and remodeling carried out in subsequent centuries, which gave the church its current appearance.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:40\">A distinctive feature of the church is its\u00a0<strong>facade made of Moncervetto marble<\/strong>, a valuable material extracted from local quarries. The facade, dating from the mid-19th century, is an emblematic example of the use of this valuable marble. Prior to this intervention, the church lacked a proper fa\u00e7ade, and the entrance was through a gap in an attached building.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:60\">The use of Moncervetto marble in the fa\u00e7ade of the church of St. Anthony Abbot embellishes its appearance, giving it an understated and refined elegance. The typical veining of this marble, ranging from light to dark gray, creates a unique and striking play of colors, making the church a true architectural jewel.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:364\">In <strong>addition to the facade, Moncervetto marble was also used in other elements of the church<\/strong>, such as the interior flooring, columns, and altars. This widespread use of local marble underscores the deep connection that exists between the church of St. Anthony Abbot and the Bagnasco area, enhancing its natural resources and traditional craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:333\"><strong>If you are interested in finding out more about Moncervetto marble and its history<\/strong>, St. Anthony Abbot Church in Bagnasco is an ideal place. In addition to admiring the beauty of this prized material, you can learn about the techniques of marble extraction and processing, as well as its fundamental role in local architecture and art.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column][vc_banner_title title=&#8221;Bagnasco, St. Anthony Abbot Church&#8221; img=&#8221;5436&#8243; enable_overlay=&#8221;true&#8221; columns=&#8221;%5B%7B%22text_type%22%3A%22text%22%7D%5D&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; desctop_pt=&#8221;padding-lg-70t&#8221; desctop_pb=&#8221;padding-lg-90b&#8221; tablets_pb=&#8221;padding-sm-55b&#8221; css=&#8221;vc_custom_1629304251419{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629303597132{padding-top: 0px&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":5533,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5850","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sant&#039;Antonio Abate a Bagnasco: un gioiello di marmo Moncervetto<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The church of Sant&#039;Antonio Abate in Bagnasco, with its Moncervetto marble facade, is a jewel of Piedmontese sacred architecture.
