San Filippo Neri, Vicenza, Roman Catholic church in Corso Palladio, Vicenza, Italy.
San Filippo Neri is a Catholic church designed in neoclassical style located on Corso Palladio. The facade features four statues set in niches representing the Virgin Mary, the virtue of Charity, and Saints Lawrence and Paul.
Construction began in 1730 under architect Giorgio Massari, though financial constraints slowed progress significantly. The building was finally consecrated in 1825, after nearly a century of work.
The church takes its name from Saint Philip Neri, a saint known for his compassionate nature. Inside, statues of the four evangelists and stucco reliefs depicting his life serve as reminders of his spiritual importance to the Catholic faith.
The church is located at Corso Palladio 35 and functions as a parish church serving the local community. Visitors can explore the interior and artwork during daytime hours when the doors are typically open.
An organ built by De Lorenzi-Zordan in 1833 still stands in the church and remains active during religious services. This historic instrument is central to the church's musical tradition.
