San Martino dei Bianchi, Roman Catholic church in central Catania, Italy
The San Martino dei Bianchi church displays an undulating late-Baroque facade constructed in the eighteenth century along Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
Following the 1693 earthquake that destroyed the original structure, architect Stefano Ittar created designs for the new church between 1724 and 1790.
The Arch-confraternity of the Bianchi, which managed the church, provided support and burial services to individuals facing capital punishment.
The religious building stands at number 191 on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, near a plaque marking where Goethe stayed during his Italian journey in 1787.
The church facade incorporates curved architectural elements that represent the evolution of Baroque design in Sicilian religious buildings.
