The Archpresbyteral Basilica of Saints Gervasius and Protasius is located in the heart of Rapallo's historic center. It was built in Gothic-Romanesque style, likely in the Middle Ages, and a plaque inside indicates 1118 as the date of its dedication, although historians disagree with this dating. Over time, it underwent several renovations and modifications, culminating in reconstruction work between the 17th and 18th centuries, which eliminated the previous Gothic-Romanesque architectural style, giving it an 18th-century appearance. The tall, leaning bell tower dates back to 1753, and in the second half of the 19th century, further substantial modifications were made to the interior and to the new Neoclassical façade, designed by architect Gio Batta Olivieri. In the early 20th century, thanks to the new archpriest, Monsignor Cesare Boccoleri, the Basilica was definitively rebuilt and the monumental dome was constructed, which was completed in 1920. Dome of the Basilica of Rapallo In ancient times, the parish of Rapallo was of great importance, and its jurisdiction extended over a vast territory, from the present-day municipalities of Portofino to San Pietro di Rovereto, above Zoagli, and as far as Cicagna in the Fontanabuona Valley. Important popular meetings were held within the parish, where decisions regarding the social, political, and religious life of the area were made. Even today, the Rapallo parish community is the largest in the Diocese of Chiavari, with approximately 18,000 inhabitants. (c) https://hellorapallo.it/cosa-vedere/basilica-dei-ss-gervasio-e-protasio/
