San Giovanni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Giovanni, the Italian form of "Saint John" (q.v.), a name that may refer to dozens of saints.
At least 58 comuni in Italy are named San Giovanni, and at least 49 more are named San Giovanni... (as in San Giovanni Valdarno in Tuscany), and hundreds of frazioni and smaller villages. Many hundreds, probably even thousands, of churches are also named after the various saints hiding under the simple "Giovanni", among them:
- the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome
- the Baptistry of San Giovanni in Florence
- San Giovanni in Siena
- San Giovanni de Butris in Umbria
- San Giovanni di Dio in Florence
There is also a village called San Giovanni in San Marino
For the noble house of Malta, see the Barons di San Giovanni.
