St. Anthony of Padua Church

St. Anthony of Padua Church is a beautiful and historic Roman Catholic Church in the Little Italy neighborhood of Wilmington, Delaware. Though the church was actually built in the 1920's, its Romanesque style of architecture and evocative bell-tower make it so it wouldn't seem out of place in some village in Tuscany or Liguria in Italy.

The church itself is pleasant and pretty church both inside and out, but it's perhaps most famous throughout the city for the jovial Italian Festival it holds every June during the festivities of St. Anthony. The little plaza around the church fills up with vendors selling authentic Italian and Italian-American cuisine and plenty of cold drinks and Italian wines.
