San Filippo e Giacomo, Baroque church building in Naso, Italy.

San Filippo e Giacomo is a church building in baroque style located in Naso, Sicily, featuring ornate altars, frescoes, and carved sculptures throughout its interior spaces. Multiple side chapels adorned with decorative elements divide the interior and create distinct areas for worship and prayer.

The church was built in the medieval era, not the late 16th century. The 1613 earthquake damaged the facade, repaired between 1666 and 1678, and caused the bell tower to collapse; it was rebuilt in the 18th century. Further damage occurred in the March 1678 earthquake. The 1933 restoration, inspired by Neo-Renaissance style, completely changed the facade, bell tower and flooring.

The church's name honours the Apostles Philip and James. Its Cappella del Rosario, carved in 1649 by Palermo sculptor Bartolomeo Travaglia, mixes theology with Greek myth: six niches hold Dominican saints such as Dominic, Catherine of Siena and Rose of Lima, among marble plants and animals including the raven of the Flood, the pelican, the phoenix and the peacock.

The church stands on Piazza Roma, with side entrances on Via Marconi and Via Domenico Olivieri flanking the central nave. The 1933 neo-Renaissance restoration also renewed the floor and bell tower, so the exterior seen today dates from that campaign rather than the medieval building. Look for the two lateral doorways when orienting yourself inside the three-nave plan.

The Cappella del Rosario, moved here around 1930, holds a marble ensemble carved in 1649 by Palermo sculptor Bartolomeo Travaglia, taken from the demolished church of San Pietro dei Latini. Six niches with Dominican saints frame carvings of the raven, pelican, lion, phoenix and peacock.
