San Giuseppe dei Falegnami

By 1597, work began on a new (current) church dedicated to the patron saint of carpenters, St. Joseph.

The San Giuseppe dei Falegnami Church was completed in 1663 by Antonio Del Grande (1607-1679), and it was consecrated on November 11, 1663.

On August 30, 2018, two thirds of the carved wooden ceiling fell due to a collapse of two of the four roof trusses, and it was closed to the public.

[1] During restoration, conservators found that knowledge of coffered ceiling construction methods was underdeveloped, as research had mostly focused on their artistic and historic aspects.
