San Torpete, Baroque church in central Genoa, Italy
The rectangular structure of San Torpete features a neoclassical facade, internal dome, painted stucco decorations, and wooden crucifixes from the 19th century.
The original 11th-century church underwent complete reconstruction between 1730 and 1733 under architect Giovanni Antonio Ricca, following damage from a 1684 bombardment.
San Torpete contains artworks including paintings of Saint Torpes and Madonna with Child, representing the religious artistic traditions of Genoa.
The church stands near Piazza San Giorgio in the Molo district, with surrounding streets offering traditional shops and regional dining establishments.
The Della Volta merchant family, who later changed their name to Cattaneo, established this church through commercial connections with Pisan traders.
