The church of S Filippo Neri was started with a donation from the nobleman Camillo Pallavicino in 1674 and completed in 1725, because Pallavicino wanted to facilitate entry into the Genova Priests of the Oratory. The concave façade and portal decorated by the sculptor P Bocciardo were finished, the rest left rough and ready. The internal walls are entirely covered in frescoes by various artists such as A M Haffner, J A Boni and M Franceschini. It is one of the most visited churches in this historical city.
