Article History

Fidenza, town, Emilia-Romagna regione, northern Italy. It is believed to have been the scene of St. Domninus’ martyrdom under the Roman emperor Maximian and was called Borgo San Donnino for more than 1,000 years. The town was renamed Fidenza in 1927, recalling its ancient name, Fidentia. Its Romanesque-Gothic cathedral dates from the 12th century. During World War II, Fidenza sustained heavy damage. It is now rebuilt and functions as an agricultural centre with various light industries. Pop. (2006 est.) mun., 24,187.
