San Giovanni Vincenzo

San Giovanni Vincenzo, church building in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino, Italy

San Giovanni Vincenzo is a baroque church in Sant'Ambrogio di Torino featuring a single-nave brick facade and a polygonal chancel. Inside are numerous paintings from the 1700s and 1800s, carved wooden furnishings including a walnut choir from 1808, and an altarpiece depicting Mary with saints Ambrose and John Vincent.

A 13th-century Romanesque church once stood to the right of the bell tower, oriented with its entrance west and apse east. Bernardo Vittone built the present church between 1759 and 1763 on the tower's left side, with the entrance facing north. The 250th anniversary of its dedication was marked in 2013 with an exhibition on the building and the community.

The parish has guarded the relics of Saint John Vincent, founder of the Sacra di San Michele, since 1150; they rest in an urn on the front of the main altar. Since the early 1800s it has also kept the Breviary of San Michele della Chiusa, the monks' daily prayer book. In 2013 the community marked 250 years since the church's dedication with an exhibition on its history.

The church stands on the left side of the 37-metre Romanesque bell tower of Sant'Ambrogio, with its entrance facing north. The organ tribune above the entrance doors holds a Concone instrument from 1755, moved here in 1804 and rebuilt in 1900; it is played in concerts during the Organalia Ekklesia and I Luoghi dello Spirito series in June.

The pipe organ above the entrance doors was built in 1755 by Giovanni Battista and Francesco Maria Concone for the church of San Francesco in Chieri, then bought by the community, moved and installed here in 1804 by Gioachino Concone. Rebuilt by Carlo Pera in 1900, it was restored and inaugurated with a concert by Luciano Fornero on 30 April 1988.
