San Filippo Neri, Baroque church in central Genoa, Italy.

The San Filippo Neri church features a richly decorated interior with gilded stucco work and ceiling frescoes depicting religious scenes spanning the nave.

Founded in 1674 on the former Lomellino family palace site, the church served as the residence of the Genoa Conservatory from 1834 to 1928.

The church contains sculptures by Domenico Parodi, paintings by Giacomo Boni, and frescoes by Marcantonio Franceschini depicting the Glory of St Philip Neri.

Located on Via Lomellini, the church maintains an organ from 1816 by Giuseppe II Serassi, which underwent restoration work in 1995.

The presbytery displays a statuary ensemble representing St Philip in Heaven, created through collaboration between sculptors Domenico Guidi and Honoré Pelle.
