San Guido, Religious oratory in Bolgheri, Italy.

The white exterior oratory stands near cypress trees, featuring a curved pediment doorway and a marble commemorative plaque on its front facade.

The Della Gherardesca family commissioned the construction of this oratory in 1703 to honor their ancestor Guido, a hermit from the 11th century.

The oratory gained recognition through Giosuè Carducci's poem 'Davanti San Guido', which captures the location's connection to Italian literature.

The oratory maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes visitors who arrive via the nearby Variante Aurelia road or local transportation options.

The interior holds an 18th-century stone and white marble altar attributed to artist Romolo Della Bella, displaying refined craftsmanship.
