The church of Padri Filippini, also known as the Church of the Filippini, is a Neoclassical style, Roman Catholic church in Verona, which like the older and neighboring church of San Fermo Maggiore is dedicated to the saints Fermo and Rustico.
History[]
Finding the older church of San Fermo Minore too narrow and cramped, the Oratorians in 1746 decided to replace it with this larger structure using plans by . The adjacent oratory was designed by Adriano Cristofali.[1] Construction of the church was completed in 1791. The neoclassical church was decorated with works transferred from the San Fermo Minore, when that church was destroyed.[2]
The present Filippini church was heavily damaged during the Second World War, and subsequently rebuilt. The belltower contains a ring of 6 bells in G, cast in 1931 and rung with the Veronese bellringing art.
