Oratory of San Desiderio, Pistoia

The Oratory of San Desiderio is a prayer hall located on Via Laudesi #53 in Pistoia, region of Tuscany, Italy.

It houses 16th century paintings by Sebastiano Vini, Domenico Cresti (also called il Passignano), Francesco Curradi, and Matteo Rosselli.

The church was attached to a hospital, later converted into a Benedictine convent of nuns, putatively of the Mantellate order.

The oratory's counterfacade contains a massive fresco by Vini depicting the Crucifixion of St Desiderio.

The colorful scene is crowded and varied, and the superior panoramic has a gallery of tortuous crucifixions.
