San Filippo Neri, Baroque church in central Genoa, Italy.
San Filippo Neri is a baroque church in central Genoa featuring an elaborate interior with gilded stucco and painted ceiling scenes. The decorative scheme flows through the main nave with religious imagery and ornamental details throughout the space.
This church was founded in 1674 on the site of a former noble family residence. Between 1834 and 1928, it served as the home of Genoa's music conservatory.
The church displays artworks from local baroque-era artists whose names are closely tied to Genoa's artistic reputation. Walking through the space, you encounter the visual language these creators developed for the city.
The church sits on Via Lomellini in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. You can visit comfortably in about an hour, taking time to observe the interior details without feeling rushed.
The presbytery holds a sculptural group depicting Saint Philip that was created by two sculptors working together. This collaborative work shows how artists of the period sometimes joined forces on major commissions.
