Abstract

Between the tenth and the eleventh centuries, in the transition from the Italian-Greek Giovanni Filagato’s episcopate to Lombard Siegfried the cult of St. Justina of Antioch spread in Piacenza. It  was to become an important element of the local ecclesial identity. The age of Bishop Siegfried deeply marked the institutional structure of Piacenza Church in which, as was also demonstrated by the memorial tradition of the monastery of St. Savino, many reforming influences were active.
Piacenza was solidly grounded in the Salian empire and characterized in its ecclesial, political and cultural connotations by the most typical elements of that particular period in European civilization. Under Bishop Dionysius, Piacenza played a leading role in the dramatic conflict which broke out in the second half of the eleventh century.
