Santa Maria della Visitazione, Baroque church in Piazza Saffi, Forlì, Italy

Santa Maria della Visitazione, known as the church of the Suffragio, has an elliptical plan set lengthwise, with pillars and columns carrying an elliptical dome frescoed by Jacopo Guarana with quadrature by Serafino Barozzi. The main altar holds Filippo Pasquali's Visitation with Saints Francis Xavier and Francis de Sales. The brick facade, added in 1933, bears the inscription PRO PECCATIS MORTUORUM.

Construction began in 1723, though the facade remained unfinished for many decades. The architect Cesare Bazzani finally completed the facade in 1933 by following the original design.

Locals call it the church of the Suffragio, from the Latin inscriptions on the facade reading PRO PECCATIS MORTUORUM, a reference to suffrage for the souls in purgatory. The corner by Palazzo Serughi and Palazzo Talenti-Framonti is the Trebbo di Mozzapè, the only one of Piazza Saffi's four corners called a trebbo, from Latin trivium, a meeting place. In 1884 Angelo Damerini opened Forlì's first newspaper kiosk under the Loggia dei Signori there.

The church sits at the intersection of Piazza Saffi and Corso Repubblica, making it easy to locate from the main squares. The first chapel on the right side is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and serves as a helpful landmark once inside.

The Trebbo di Mozzapè, the corner of Piazza Saffi beside the church, takes its name from the Latin trivium, a meeting place. Here Angelo Damerini opened Forlì's first newspaper kiosk in 1884, under the Loggia dei Signori of Palazzo Talenti-Framonti; the kiosk was later moved in front of the church.
