Santa Maria del Soccorso, Neoclassical church in central Livorno, Italy.
The building features a stone facade with pilasters, a clock in the tympanum, and stands at the end of Via Magenta surrounded by trees.
Construction began in 1836 after a cholera epidemic, with architect Gaetano Gherardi leading the project until its consecration in 1856.
The interior displays notable paintings including works by Enrico Pollastrini depicting St Lawrence and Giuseppe Baldini's representation of St Peter Apostle.
The church layout follows a Latin cross design with seven arches flanking the nave and includes multiple chapels for prayer and contemplation.
During World War II, this church temporarily replaced the damaged cathedral as Livorno's primary religious center for major celebrations.
