Cappella dei Mercanti
via Garibaldi 25
The chapel was built in 1692 to facilitate prayer meetings held by the Turin congregation made up of bankers, dealers and merchants. Since then the chapel has been adorned with many important historic and artistic works, above all frescos painted by Stefano Maria Legnati dealing with the New and old Testament and also paintings depicting the Epiphany that was completed in the early eighteenth century. Besides the pictorial works the church was enriched by Carlo Giuseppe Plura’s sculptures, wooden works and remarkable marble alter in the forthcoming centuries.
