Santi Vittore e Carlo is a
Latin Cross between 1629 and 1635 from a design by Bartolomeo Bianco. Designs by Eugenio Durazzo
were incorporated in 1743 with the construction of a façade.
Inside the church are a number of works of 17th- and 18th-century artists, including the wooden sculptures Madonna of the Carmine (
Orazio De Ferrari (Nativity, Adoration of the Magi), Giovanni Maria delle Piane (Decapitation of Sant'Agostino) and Domenico Piola
(Saint John of the Cross). The main altar is the remnant of a destroyed church of San Domenico.
Domenico Parodi painted the figure of "Virtue", but many of the decorations were overseen by Maurice Dufour in the last decade of the 19th century, 1890–1898.[1]
