Reference excerpt

San Donnino or San Donnino Martire is a Romanesque style Catholic church located at the intersection of Largo Cesare Battisti and Vicolo San Donnino in the historic center of Piacenza, Region of Emilia Romagna, Italy. Little is known of San Donnino (St Domninus), to whom the church is dedicated, as are other churches elsewhere, including Pisa. A St Domninus appears in early Church sources and some identify him with St Domninus of Fidenza, to whom Fidenza Cathedral is also dedicated. For some the Piacenza Domninus was a deacon of Piacenza in the early Christian period.

History A church was built on the site by the 12th century, but rebuilt in 1236 by Cardinal Jacopo da Pecoraria, Bishop of Palestrina (1231–1244), who in his youth had been a cleric attached to the church. The original structure dating from this time follows a decidedly Romanesque basilica plan with three naves closed by semi-circular apses. The interior and the façade were remodeled throughout the centuries. After an unexpected collapse of the nave in 1951, the latest restoration removed many of the additions accumulated over the centuries. The choir and the sanctuary had been frescoed with quadratura by Francesco and Giovanni Battista Natali, with figures by Bartolomeo Rusca. The church houses the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and holds a bronze crucifix by Giorgio Groppi donated by the baker's guild in town. It also held near the sacristy a canvas of St Anne, St Joseph, and other Saints by Bartolomeo Baderna. The facade had been originally been frescoed in the renaissance period. A congregation of religious women is affiliated with the parish church.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with San Donnino, Piacenza

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what San Donnino, Piacenza claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to San Donnino, Piacenza before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about San Donnino, Piacenza ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of San Donnino, Piacenza

In research: San Donnino, Piacenza appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses San Donnino, Piacenza in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: San Donnino, Piacenza is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 13th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Italy, Buildings and structures completed in 1236, Churches completed in the 1230s, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for San Donnino, Piacenza outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
