San Filippo Neri (Genoa)
San Filippo Neri is a Baroque church on via Lomellini in central Genoa. The order of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri had arrived in Genoa in 1643, under the sponsorship of the Oratorian and Marchese Camillo Pallavicini who was born in Genoa. Originally housed in the church of San Pancrazio, by 1674 the order began a move to this new site and built their church and chapter house on the site of a former palace of the Lomellino family. In 1834 the church became the residence of the Genoa Conservatory, and the building was used solely by that music school until it was reclaimed by an edict of the Holy See in 1928. The nearby building on via Brignole De Ferrari houses the chapter house for the ''Oratory of Philip Neri''. Designed by the architect Giovanni Battista Montaldo, it was built during the same period as the church. It is not clear who designed the church. Interior The ornate interior decoration was begun in 1674. The quadratura and some of the gilded and stucco decoration w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
