Oratory of San Filippo Neri, Bologna

The Oratory was constructed from the sacristy of the adjacent church of the Madonna di Galliera.

This church is now called Chiesa dei Filippini Madonna di Galliera e Filippo Neri.

It was decorated in the early 18th century (1723-1733) by a series of artists including Alfonso Torreggiani (architect); Angelo Piò (sculptor), and Francesco Monti (painter).

Other artists involved included the quadraturae painter Fernando Galli Bibiena (1657-1743) and the stuccoist Carlo Nessi.

The original structure was nearly destroyed by the Allied bombardment during World War II, and was reconstructed using old photographs in 1997–1999.
