San Filippo Neri, Macerata

A redesign of the layout, hedged as it was in a narrow lot, was commissioned in 1689 from architect was Giovanni Battista Contini, and completed between 1707 and 1730.

The layout recalls the influence of Borromini and Bernini, specifically the latter's and Carlo Rainaldi's plan for Santa Maria di Montesanto, with an oval main nave surrounded by four shallow chapels with the far end opening to a deeper presbytery.

The second altar on the right houses an altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child with Saints Joseph and Anthony of Padua (1755) by Marco Benefial.

The first altar on the left houses an altarpiece depicting the Madonna and St Cajetan adore the Child Jesus (1634) by Ludovico Trasi.

Mancini also painted the main altarpiece depicting the Madonna and Child with St Phillip in Glory.
