Livorno - San Ferdinando

The little Church of San Ferdinando, also known as the Chiesa della Crocetta, stands outside the old town to the northwest. A Baroque structure (1707-14) by Giovanni Battista Foggini, it was largely rebuilt after the Second World War, like many other churches in Livorno. It contains sculpture by Giovanni Baratta (1670-1747), including figures of St Louis of France and St Henry the Pious of Germany and allegorical representations of the Christian virtues.
