San Facio, also known as Chiesa del Foppone, is a late Baroque Roman Catholic church in Cremona, now deconsecrated. Completed in 1781, the church was built to accommodate the burials of unknown individuals in the surrounding charnel house, particularly those who died in the adjacent hospital (Ospedale Maggiore e Ospedale Vecchio) of Cremona. It was named Foppone because of its similar design to the Nuovi Sepolcri (1695) in Milan. The large surrounding crypts in the portico were part of a broader effort to provide burial space for the needy.
