The cathedral of San Pietro is a religious building in Modica , in the province of Ragusa , and is consecrated to Saint Peter. A document from the bishop of Syracuse certifies its existence on site in 1396 , but the date of its first construction is to be placed between 1301 and 1350, as attested by the seventeenth-century historian Placido Carafa . Erected in the collegiate with papal bull of Clement VIII of 2 January 1597 , two centuries later by the Royal Decree of Charles III of Bourbon ( 1797 ), and after a centuries-old dispute, it was declared a mother church like St. George , the church official of the accounts of Modica. Damaged by the passing of the centuries and by the frequent earthquakes in this area with high seismic risk, it was repeatedly rebuilt, but some internal elements were spared from collapses; there is still a side chapel dedicated to the Immaculate , which shows the date of 1620 engraved on the dome, and which also resisted the earthquake of 1693 . The reconstruction work was directed by two local master builders, Rosario Boscarino di Modica and Mario Spada di Ragusa.
A beautiful staircase with the statues of the twelve apostles , called by the people santoni, leads to the sober but imposing façade divided into two orders, and embellished by four statues, depicting Saint Cataldo , Saint Rosalia , Saint Peter and the Madonna, which enrich the second order, which is finally surmounted at the apex of the façade by the high relief sculpture of a triumphant Jesus Christ. The interior of the church, with three naves and fourteen columns with Corinthian capitals , is decorated, starting from the floor, of 1864 , with inlayswhite marble, polychrome marble and black pitch, ending with the vault, rich in frescoes, depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments , started in about 1760 by the local painter Gian Battista Ragazzi with the collaboration of his son Stefano, and completed around 1780, probably only from the son.
Inside there are two marble statues, a Madonna of Trapani attributable to a student of Francesco Laurana , dated around 1470, and a very expressive Lady of Help ( 1507 ), otherwise called Madonna della mazza for the close resemblance with the similar work of the sculptor Giorgio da Milano, called Il Brigno , present in the Cathedral of Termini Imerese (another Madonna with Child, dated 1497 , very similar in the drapery to that of Modica, also by the same sculptor, is located in the church of Santa Caterina in Naro (AG), with the name of Madonna delle Grazie ). The statue now in St. Peter's comes from the church of Santa Maria del Soccorso , where in turn it was brought by the old church of the same name destroyed in 1927 to build the magistral institute. Giorgio Brigno from Milan, considered by Pitruzzella one of the best artists of the Sicilian Renaissance, worked in Palermo in the workshop of Domenico Gagini .
Remarkable is the statuary group depicting San Pietro and Paralitico , in 1893 , made of oak, considered the masterpiece of the palermoitan Benedetto Civiletti . The central chandelier, which loomed over the high altar, was a noteworthy work of glassware coming from Murano , but having been destroyed by falling to the ground in March 2011 , it waits to be worthily replaced. The monumental organ , the work of the Polizzi brothers and inaugurated in 1924 , is made up of 3200 pipes, 32 registers and two keyboards.

The Duomo of San Giorgio is a Baroque church located in Modica, Province of Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. It is the Mother Church of the city and it is included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO. The building is the final result of the eighteenth century reconstruction, which took place following the disastrous earthquakes that struck Modica in 1542, in 1613 and in 1693.
The reconstruction started in 1702, and ended in 1738. Further works were made until the affixing of the iron cross on the spire in 1842, which marked the definitive appearance of the church. According to the art historian Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco the Church should be included among the seven wonders of the baroque world. The cathedral of San Giorgio is the mother church of the city of Modica , in the Libero municipal consortium of Ragusa , and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List .
It is often indicated and marked as a symbolic monument of the Sicilian Baroque , of which it represents the most scenographic and monumental architecture. The art historian Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco declared that this Church could be inserted between the seven wonders of the baroque world. The building is the final result of the six / eighteenth century reconstruction, which occurred following the disastrous earthquakes that struck Modica in 1542 , in 1613 and in 1693 (the most serious one, see the Val di Noto earthquake ); slight damage caused the earthquakes in the Iblea area that occurred during the eighteenth century and in 1848 .
The first official document that certifies the presence of a church dedicated to St. George in the city of Modica is a papal bull of 1150 , issued by Pope Eugene III , with whom the Ecclesia S. Giorgi de Mohac was placed, together to the sister of St. John the Evangelist already present in the upper part of the city, under the protection of the Monastery of Miletus , in Calabria. But probably its first edifice would have been directly commissioned by Count Ruggero d'Altavilla , starting from the Norman conquest of Sicily, around 1090 . San Giorgio was erected in Collegiatawith the bull of Urban VIII of 6 November 1630 .
The current façade - with its surprising analogies with the contemporary Katholische Hofkirche in Dresden - was realized by modifying, perhaps even with partial demolition, the pre-existing seventeenth century, of which we have no documents or drawings but which had resisted the force of the earthquake. However, the liturgical activities in the Cathedral were never suspended, except for a few months after the tremendous earthquake of 1693 which had brought down the roofs, restored to them in 1696 , at the pastoral visit of the bishop of Syracuse , the church was in full exercise of its functions.
The interior of the church has five naves, with 22 columns surmounted by Corinthian capitals. The temple is dedicated to the martyrs San Giorgio and Ippolito , and among the naves there is a magnificent organ with 4 keyboards, 80 registers and 3000 canes, fully functional, built between 1885 and 1888 by the Bergamasco Casimiro Allieri; a painting by the Tuscan school, L'Assunta , of the late Florentine Mannerist Filippo Paladini ( 1610 ); a delightful naïve painting on wood, The Nativity of the Milanese painter Carlo Cane (1615-1688), of the second half of the seventeenth century; the seventeenth-century painting ( 1671 )The Martyrdom of St. Hippolytus , signed by the little known Cicalesius, a marble statue of the Gagini school, the Madonna della Neve , of the Palermo workshop of the Carraresi Bartolomeo Berrettaro and Giuliano Mancino , dated 1511. On the altar at the end of one of the two aisles on the right, stands the Holy Ark, called Santa Cassa , an inlaid silver work built in Venice in the fourteenth century, and donated to the Church by the patrons of the Chiaramonte dynasty.
