San Pietro, Baroque oratory in Porto Maurizio, Italy.

The San Pietro oratory features a single nave with a barrel vault and walls adorned with frescoes created by painters Tommaso and Maurizio Carrega.

The structure underwent complete reconstruction in 1595, followed by the addition of a frescoed loggia to its facade in 1714, marking its architectural development.

The oratory functioned as a central meeting point for mercantile companies conducting trade with Genoa, dating back to 1252, reflecting regional commerce patterns.

The religious building stands at coordinates 43.873683, 8.013916 in Porto Maurizio, within the municipality of Imperia, accessible from the town center.

A plaque at the site honors 'good Garibbo' who succeeded in abolishing high Genoese taxes that burdened local residents during historical periods.
