Our Lady of Suffragio

Amazing coloured high tower!

Superb church in the heart of via San Donato in turin punto is run by the Minime Sisters who have dedicated their whole lives to prayer for the holy souls of Purgatory. The church is very beautiful, in particular it affects the vault on the roof with the starry sky painted. Three naves richly decorated with a beautiful sculpture of the Virgin protector of the souls of Purgatory at the main altar. Unfortunately, the day I entered I found the scaffolding for some work in progress in the apse, I intend to return to visit the church in its full splendor and also to visit the Institute. Note also the kindness of the nuns.

Place of prayer and closeness to the Holy Mother of Heaven and the blessed Holy Souls of Purgatory. My regular appointment for the daily morning Mass at 07:00.

The church is beautiful, but the nuns as well as being arrogant, rude and unkind, try to draw money from visitors. Invite you to visit the bell tower, but to create a great party, so it is worth more in the company. Not even prostitutes are reduced so badly

Not far from the center of Turin, in the almost hidden San Donato district, this apparently "normal" church hides a lot of history. Commissioned by Francesco Faà di Bruno, a personality on whom different stories are told, partly narrated also by the writer Messori, it stands out for a truly unique bell tower: looking at it, with its geometry and its colors alive for a recent renovation, seems to be in another country. You can visit both the bell tower and the adjacent museum dedicated to the blessed Faà di Bruno, founder of the order of the Sisters of the Suffrage.
