San Giovanni di Quarto, Religious site in Quarto dei Mille, Italy.

San Giovanni di Quarto is a church on Via Stefano Prasca with medieval base structure, its facade featuring three windows that replaced an original rose window. The interior consists of a single nave with Baroque decorations and artworks on the walls.

The church received baptismal administration rights from Archbishop Siro II in 1143 and was originally subsidiary to the San Siro di Nervi parish. Over time it developed into an independent religious center in its area.

The parish originally covered Priaruggia, a fishing village, and the rural hamlets of Pontevecchio and Castagna, where gardens, vines and olive groves were cultivated. The church keeps a 1918 Saint John the Baptist by Rapallo sculptor Antonio Canepa and a 1936 fresco by Pietro Arzuffi showing the Baptist pointing to the Messiah.

The building is located in Quarto, a neighborhood in eastern Genoa, and is accessible by foot or public transportation. Opening hours vary, so it is best to check ahead or contact the parish office.

On the morning of 26 July 1962, the Genoese singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André married Enrichetta Rignon in this church; the ceremony was officiated by Don Erasmo Sanguineti, archpriest of Quarto. The wedding is the detail visitors most often overlook in the parish records.
