San Lorenzo

San San Lorenzo's church was built by the will of Emanuele Filiberto, who had promised to build a church in a vow made before the battle of San Quintino, won by the king, which took place on the 10th August, the day which is dedicated to San Lorenzo. The church was built according to a plan by Guarino Guarini between 1667 and 1680. It is a perfect expression of seventeenth century baroque style both in the design of its dome and in the interior decorations
