San Carlo Borromeo, Ferrara, Baroque church in Ferrara, Italy
The church presents four niches on its facade containing statues of Saints Carlo Borromeo, Anthony of Padua, Ambrose, and Augustine with angels holding heraldic shields.
Architect Giovan Battista Aleotti designed the structure between 1612 and 1623 to replace an earlier oratory dedicated to Saints Philip and James near Santa Anna hospital.
The ceiling displays frescoes from 1674 by Giuseppe Avanzi, depicting the Virgin in Glory with Saints Ambrose and Carlo Borromeo in the central roundel.
The church reopened in April 2022 following extensive restoration work necessitated by earthquake damage that occurred in 2012.
A polychrome terracotta statue of Saint Sebastian by sculptor Orazio Grillenzoni from the late 16th century stands in a niche at the left altar.
