There, in 1450, the Chapter of the cathedral of Acqui gathered to elect the new bishop <em>Tommaso Deregibus<\/em>, since a terrible plague epidemic was raging in the city. At the end of the 16th century, however, the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie began to suffer from considerable decay, partly due to stability problems caused by its position near landslide-prone ground, and the need began to be felt to replace it with a new building.<\/p><p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">Construction of the present parish church, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, began in 1604, but its final completion and consecration had to wait until as late as 1695.<\/p><p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The fa\u00e7ade, adorned with statues of Saints Peter and Paul and of the Sacred Heart, was enriched in 1927 with a fresco depicting the Madonna del Rosario with St Dominic and St Catherine of Siena, by the Acqui painter <em>Lorenzo Laiolo<\/em> (1877-1947).<\/p><p class=\"CDt4Ke zfr3Q\" dir=\"ltr\">The plan is single-nave, with four side chapels: Sant'Antonio, Sacred Heart, Madonna del Rosario and San Giuseppe. The nave vault is frescoed with works by <em>Pietro Ivaldi, known as \u201cil Muto\u201d<\/em> (1810-1885), as are the frescoes on either side of the altar: the Last Supper (left) and the preaching of St John the Baptist (right). Also noteworthy are four canvases by the Visone painter<em> Giovanni Monevi<\/em> (1634-1714): the souls in Purgatory, the Nativity, the village with San Bovo and the Madonna, and the Battle of Lepanto.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b15a457 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b15a457\"
