Church of Saint Francis Saverio, Baroque church in Mondovì, Italy.

The Church of Saint Francis Saverio, also called the Mission Church, stands on Mondovì's Piazza Maggiore. Its sandstone facade was designed by Giovenale Boetto for the lower half, while the upper section is by unknown hands. Inside, a single nave is covered by a flat ceiling painted as a false dome, with sculpture and painting merging in the decoration.

Construction of this building began in 1665 under architect Giovenale Boetto and followed the architectural standards of that era. The structure emerged during the period when baroque design dominated the region.

The church continues to serve as a place of worship while displaying regional baroque artworks that visitors can view. People come here to pray and attend services, but also to see the painted decorations that cover much of the interior.

The church stands on Piazza Maggiore, whose southern arcades were demolished to make room for it; an external balcony by Del Pozzo bridges the square's slope at the entrance. Inside, the flat ceiling and painted dome are best read from the doorway, where the illusion works. Look up above the entrance for Andrea Pozzo's self-portrait hidden among the painted columns.

The flat ceiling is painted as a false dome by Andrea Pozzo, a lay Jesuit brother. Above the entrance, his self-portrait is hidden among the painted columns. The church also keeps the only surviving wooden altar machine in Europe, with a sheet-metal saint at its centre.
