San Gaetano, Renaissance church in Brescia, Italy

San Gaetano features a simple exterior design with Renaissance elements, while the interior displays elaborate stucco decorations and painted frescoes throughout the space.

Originally constructed in 1588, the church changed ownership from the order of St. Philip Neri to the Theatine order in 1691, leading to its current name.

The church houses numerous artworks, including ceiling frescoes depicting the Assumption of the Virgin, created between 1745 and 1759 by Pietro Scalvini and other artists.

Located at the intersection of Via Calegari and Via Monti, the church remains an active place of worship within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brescia.

The interior contains a restored Tamburini organ and displays Antonio Bonardi's early 17th-century painting of St Ursula and the Virgins.
