Madonna di Pompei Church, Religious sanctuary in Vigevano, Italy
The Madonna di Pompei Church features three naves designed by engineer Spirito Maria Chiappetta, who later transitioned from his architectural career to priesthood.
The first stone of the current structure was placed on June 6, 1920, replacing a smaller church that previously occupied the location.
The interior walls display fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, painted by local artists Luigi Bocca, Carlo Ottone, and Casimiro Ottone.
The church underwent modifications to increase its capacity, with the completion of the facade and front bell tower finished on May 7, 1940.
A bronze statue commemorating Don Ambrogio Ceriotti, who initiated the devotion to Madonna di Pompei in 1897, stands in the churchyard.
