The Oratorians‘ church was built in the late
17th century and was consecrated in 1721.
Inside it has a Greek cross shape covered by a frescoed dome at the end of the 19th century.
It contains many paintings; on the cornice of the major altar there is a canvas by Giovanni Peruzzini (1629?-1694) representing the “Immaculate Conception”; on the walls, inserted in moulded frames, paintings with “Stories of Saint Philip Neri‘s life and miracles” made by Peruzzini, Andrea Porta (1656-1723), Federico Bianchi (1638-1718) and Francesco Martinotti.
