Sant'Antonio in Boccadasse

Sant'Antonio in Boccadasse, Church and shrine in Boccadasse, Italy.

Sant'Antonio in Boccadasse is a single-nave Catholic church at Belvedere Firpo in the Boccadasse hamlet of Genoa's Albaro district. Its bell tower, added in 1827, stands beside the facade. Inside are sculptures by Agostino Storace (1720-1793) and Antonio Canepa, a processional crucifix by Luigi Gichero (1867-1942), and ship models hung on the walls as ex-votos.

Built in the early 17th century as a chapel by the fishermen and inhabitants of Boccadasse, it became the seat of the Confraternity of Sant'Antonio di Padova in 1745 and was officially recognised as a church in 1787 after an enlargement. The bell tower followed in 1827, funded by donations from residents and Captain Francesco Dodero. It became a parish on 25 March 1894 under Archbishop Tommaso Reggio, and after 131 years the Conventual Friars handed it to the diocesan clergy in 2025.

The church is the only parish church in Genoa named after Anthony of Padua, not to be confused with the Oratory of Saint Anthony the Abbot. Ship models hang on the walls as ex-votos left by seafaring worshippers. Since 1745 it has been the seat of the Confraternity of Sant'Antonio di Padova.

The church stands at Belvedere Firpo in the Boccadasse hamlet, in Genoa's Albaro district, and is reached on foot through the village lanes; the surrounding streets are narrow and steep in places. It is the only parish church in Genoa dedicated to Anthony of Padua, not to be confused with the oratory of Sant'Antonio abate.

The church keeps several model ships hung on its walls as ex-votos, left by seafarers of Boccadasse. It is the only parish church in Genoa dedicated to Anthony of Padua, not to be confused with the oratory of Sant'Antonio abate. Since 25 March 1894 it has been a parish, and for 131 years it was run by the Conventual Franciscans, who handed it to the diocesan clergy in 2025.
