San Giuseppe, Baroque church in Pisa, Italy

San Giuseppe is a baroque church in Pisa featuring curved lines and ornate details across its facade and throughout the interior spaces. The building showcases characteristic elements of this architectural style with elaborate embellishments on walls, ceilings, and altars.

Founded in 1530 and consecrated in 1572, the church belonged to the Gesuate nuns of Lucca. It was completely rebuilt between 1707 and 1710 by the Pisan brothers Giuseppe and Francesco Melani, painters and architects, who also redesigned the facade and the stucco decoration of the interior hall. From 1791 it housed the Compagnia del Ss. Salvatore, known as "del Crocione", founded by Giordano da Rivalto in the 14th century.

From 1791 the church housed the Compagnia del Santissimo Salvatore, called "del Crocione", a confraternity founded in the 14th century by Giordano da Rivalto. A plaque left of the entrance recalls its foundation; the one on the right records the 1895 restorations. The church belongs to the Misericordia di Pisa and was reopened for worship in 2003.

San Giuseppe stands on Via San Giuseppe, the street that carries its name, in the historic centre of Pisa. The marble portal with its large window above and the two plaques flanking the entrance are all on the street front, so the facade can be read from the pavement. The church belongs to the Misericordia di Pisa and has been open for worship again since 2003.

The wooden Cristo caduto sotto la Croce on the right wall was carved by Giuseppe Giacobbi in 1705 for the Certosa di Calci, covered in white stucco, and only moved here in 1808. The brick bell tower of 1710 replaced an earlier one from 1614.
