San Giuseppe, Brescia

San Giuseppe is a complex of religious buildings in central Brescia, Lombardy, northern Italy.

In 1515, the Observant Friars Minor (Franciscans) had acquired this property in the centre of Brescia, and by 1520 had built a convent at the site.

There had been a monastery of San Francesco in the then outskirts of the city.

[1] The church, whose façade is one of the few examples of Renaissance architecture in the quarter, houses frescoes and decoration including fourteen Stations of the Cross of (Via Crucis) (1713) by Giovanni Antonio Capello and the Sant'Apollonia Altarpiece by Scalvini (1761).

The church houses the tombs of Gasparo da Salò, one of the inventors of the modern violin and Benedetto Marcello, a Baroque musician.
