Church of Saint Giacinto, Catholic church in Lamarmora district, Brescia, Italy

The Church of Saint Giacinto, designed by Antonio Lechi, was built in 1951–1952 in the Lamarmora district. Its pale medolo facade has a three-bay portico with cubic-capital columns, three arched windows above, and a circular oculus. The interior is a single barrel-vaulted nave with five chapels per side, a matroneum, and a semicircular apse.

The parish arose after World War II, when the Lamarmora district's population passed eight thousand in under five years and only a small hall served as a church. In 1951 the Committee for the Churches of the New Neighborhoods commissioned Antonio Lechi's design; the cornerstone was a block from the bombed church of Sant'Angela Merici. Built in one year and finished for Christmas 1952, it was consecrated on 14 November 1953 by Bishop Giacinto Tredici, after whom it is named.

The church is named after Bishop Giacinto Tredici, who consecrated it on 14 November 1953. Its most venerated object is a 17th-century casket holding 43 relics of saints, with that of Saint Hyacinth at the centre, kept in the chapel dedicated to the patron saint.

The church stands in Piazzale Giacinto Tredici, off Via Alessandro Lamarmora, not on Via Indipendenza. A short flight of steps leads up to the three-bay entrance portico; the interior is a single barrel-vaulted nave with ten side chapels, four of which have altars. Look for the cornerstone block taken from the bombed church of Sant'Angela Merici.

The first stone was a block taken from the ruins of the bombed church of Sant'Angela Merici, and the church is named after bishop Giacinto Tredici, who consecrated it on 14 November 1953. Inside, a 17th-century casket in the chapel of the patron saint holds 43 relics, with that of Saint Hyacinth at the centre.
