Santa Teresa del Carmelo is a seventeenth-century Roman Catholic Baroque-style church located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II #161 in Piacenza, Italy.
[1] The church and adjacent monastery were suppressed in 1810, but re-opened in 1819 under the administration of the bishop, and used to house elderly and infirm priests.
The nuns of the order of Carmelitani Scalzi persisted in Piacenza, and were moved in 1962–1969 to a new monastery, located at Via Spinazzi #36 in the neighborhood of San Lazzaro Alberoni, outside of the city center.
[2] The interior decoration includes several chapels painted by Flemish artists such as Roberto De Longe (il Fiammingho) and by members of the Giovanni Battista Natali family, and the Brescian painter Giacomo Ceruti.
In the second chapel to the right, De Longe painted a fresco of Saint Teresa swooning before the child Jesus in an architectural niche by Giovanni Natali the younger.
