The Basilica of Carignano in Genoa.
The splendid Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta in Carignano is one of the largest churches in Genoa.
Built by the Sauli family, perhaps in competition with the Fieschi in the second half of the 16th century, it is still one of the most beloved by the Genoese and is located on a hill overlooking the port and the city.

The church, which stands out with its harmonious mass at the top of the Carignano hill, is one of the most famous Genoese works by Galeazzo Alessi and one of the greatest examples of Renaissance architecture in the city. The sculptures by Pierre Puget and Filippo Parodi contained within it are among the greatest masterpieces of the Genoese Baroque.
