Photographer’s Note

A simple and not so famous church in Palermo, one of those I loved more.

Infos from planetware.com

Following the Via Crispi in a southeasterly direction from the harbor in Palermo is the church built in 1576-91 for the local branch of a Genoese trading firm. This interesting Renaissance building is a triple-aisled, cruciform columned basilica, rectangular in plan with an octagonal drum-dome. The 1601 altar-piece of St Luke painting a portrait of the Madonna is by Filippo Paladino.
