Oratory of San Nicola da Tolentino, Renaissance oratory in Vicenza, Italy.

The oratory is a Renaissance structure with a facade featuring four Corinthian pilasters. Inside are paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries and statues that decorate the walls throughout the space.

The Venerable Confraternity of San Nicola da Tolentino, which had an altar in the nearby church of San Michele degli Agostiniani since the mid-15th century, began building the oratory in 1505. It was lengthened and raised between 1634 and 1654, with the side windows reworked for better lighting of the paintings. The facade, attributed to Carlo Bottiron, was finished in 1678; the interior artworks date to about 1680. Restored in 1946 and again in the 2000s.

The name refers to Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, to whom this space is dedicated. Visitors can see how the walls are filled with paintings that show his life and the miracles attributed to him.

The interior space is relatively small and easy to take in, making it comfortable to view the works displayed on the walls. Good lighting helps you see the details of the paintings and statues clearly.

The eleven ceiling canvases by Giulio Carpioni (1677–78) sit in stucco frames by Rinaldo Viseto. The central oval shows the dead Saint Nicholas ascending to heaven; around it hang allegories such as Sobriety, a blindfolded man with a scroll reading "Pauca vescor" ("little suffices me"), refusing food and drink.
