Santa Maria della Vittoria, Renaissance church in Mantua, Italy
The small two-story church on Piazzetta di San Simone features Gothic architectural elements integrated into its Renaissance design by architect Bernardino Ghisolfi.
Francesco Gonzaga ordered the construction of this church in 1495 to commemorate the Battle of Fornovo against the French army of Charles VIII.
The church contained the Madonna della Vittoria altarpiece by Andrea Mantegna until 1797, when Napoleon's troops transferred it to the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The building stands at the exact location where the house of Jewish banker Daniele da Norsa once stood, at coordinates 45.16025 latitude and 10.791425 longitude.
The church construction resulted from a conflict when Daniele da Norsa removed a Virgin Mary fresco from his house wall, leading to public outrage in Mantua.
