Thank you, Martin, for these views of Modena's cathedral. A notice of St. Geminianus with links to further views of the cathedral (incl. a very good Italian-language page at <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duomo_di_Modena>) and to representations of G. is here:

Most of the links still work. Those from www.softest.com do not, nor do the first two links under "Various views" nor the link to the view of G.'s church at Vicofertile.

Some replacement links for views of the pieve di San Geminiano at Vicofertile (PR) in Emilia-Romagna (whose facade was restored in the earlier twentieth century) and of its baptismal font:

An exterior view of this church's apses is accessible from here (scroll down to the Allegati and click on 'VICOFERTILE'):
