The Church of Corpus Christi is popularly known as 'Santuario della Santa' because it preserves the incorrupt body of St. Catherine de' Vigri, who founded the first monastery of Poor Clares at Bologna. The building, constructed between 1477 and 1480, is notable for its fine fa\u00E7ade decorated with elegant patterns in unglazed terra cotta made \u200B\u200Bby Sperandio da Mantova (Sperandio Savelli).
