San Giovanni in Canale, Piacenza

San Giovanni in Canale is a Gothic-style Roman Catholic church located on Via Croce #26 in central Piacenza, formerly associated with a Dominican monastery.

The Chapel of the Rosary, designed by the early 19th century by Antonio Tomba, was decorated in the neoclassical style with large canvases by Gaspare Landi (Road to Calvary) and Vincenzo Camuccini (Presentation at the Temple).

[1] An inventory in 1842, notes the Chapel of St Catherine has the funereal monument of Orazio Scotti, marchese di Montalbo, who was an early patron of the painter Giovanni Lanfranco.

The next chapel is dedicated to San Vincenzo Ferrari, named co-patron of Piacenza in 1736; the altarpiece depicts a miracle by this saint of performing a resurrection, painted by Giuseppe Marchesi.

The lunette of the chapel found underneath the bell-tower was decorated by Benedetto Marini, who depicted the Adoration of the Magi.
