Santa Maria della Neve, Baroque parish church in Mazzarino, Italy.

The Santa Maria della Neve features three naves arranged in a Latin cross layout, with semicircular chapels adorning each side of the lateral aisles.

Construction of the church began in 1694 under Prince Carlo Maria Carafa Branciforte, who allocated 1000 scudi in his will for its development until 1844.

The wooden choir in the presbytery, crafted by cabinet maker Santi Rigano in 1872, displays intricate inlays depicting scenes from both testaments.

The main entrance of Santa Maria della Neve connects to Corso Vittorio Emanuele through a broad staircase, facing the Branciforte Palace.

The church contains two pipe organs: one from 1745 that underwent restoration and another crafted by Polizzi masters in the early 20th century.
