The Church of San Lazzaro e San Vincenzo De Paoli now serves as a parish church in Piacenza, Italy.
History[edit]
It was originally built in 1528 when attached to the hospital of San Lazzaro; it was reconstructed in baroque-style in 1720 with designs by Domenico Trifogli, under the patronage of Cardinal Ulisse Gozzadini. The refurbishment in 1732-1734 under the patronage of Alberoni added the sacristy, oak choir stalls, and lateral chapels and was completed by 1744. In 1751, Francesco and Giuseppe Ferroni, and Giovan Battista Cremona completed the altars and stuccowork. The church has an altarpiece depicting Crucified Christ with Saints Dominic, Augustine and Francis painted by Camillo Procaccini. This canvas was previously located at the church of Sant'Agostino in Piacenza. The main altarpiece depicts a Sermon by St Vincent of Paoli (1751), painted by Giuseppe Peroni. The mausoleum of Cardinal Giulio Alberoni, completed by Dionisio Antonio and Angelo Dorini is located in the church. The bust and coat of arms of the Cardinal were stolen in 1996. The paintings in the apse and ceiling were completed in 1932 by Luciano Ricchetti.[1]
