San Ferdinando, Livorno, Baroque church in Venezia Nuova district, Livorno, Italy
The San Ferdinando church features a Latin cross layout with a central nave covered by barrel vaults and side chapels along its structure.
Construction of the church started in 1707 under architect Giovanni Battista Foggini and took ten years to complete under Giovanni del Fantasia's supervision.
The Trinitarian order managed the church, focusing on collecting funds to free Christian captives, as represented by Giovanni Baratta's sculpture The Liberated Slaves.
The church stands near Piazza del Luogo Pio, offering free entry to visitors throughout the year without requiring advance reservations.
Behind the main altar rests the tomb of Francesco Terriesi, the principal financial supporter who made the church construction possible.
