Fidenza is a town and comune in the province of Parma, Emilia-Romagna region, Italy. It has around 24,000 inhabitants. The town was renamed Fidenza in 1927, recalling its Roman name of Fidentia; before, it was called Borgo San Donnino. The town originates from a Roman camp (Fidentia) founded on the place where the Gauls Anani had their settlement of Vicumvia. In 41 BC it received the Roman citizenship and became a municipium.
Fidenza’s most famous building is the Cathedral, which dates from the 12th century and is dedicated to Domninus of Fidenza, who was martyred by order of Maximian in AD 304. Enrichetta d’Este, Duchess of Parma is buried here.
The Palazzo Comunale is also medieval, being first mentioned in 1191. The current structure dates from the 14th century but has a new façade which was added in the 19th century.
Remains of the medieval town are visible near the cathedral, include the only surviving gate, the Porta San Donnino. It was built by the Visconti family in 1364.
