G	Giuosuè Zeneize on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ È una piccola chiesetta di caruggi, San Torpete si vede da Canneto il Curto, in una tipica prospettiva molto genovese.....Si narra che questa chiesa venne probabilmente fondata da certi pisani che vivevano qui nelle vicinanze, costoro la dedicarono al Santo originario della loro città.si affaccia sulla piazza dedicata a San Giorgio e sorge accanto alla chiesetta dedicata a colui che uccise il drago.....In questa piazzetta di Genova a pochi passi dal mare.....Ed è una candida bomboniera, una chiesa illuminata di bianco e di oro.....Alle sue pareti trovate preziosi dipinti, le chiese di Genova sono sempre ricche di opere d’arte....E in alto, ospitata in una nicchia splendente, c’è una statuina che in anni lontani fu oggetto di sincera devozione....Era un tempo collocata sull’altare maggiore e sono numerose le vicende del passato legate a questa immagine che raffigura Nostra Signora della Provvidenza, mi riservo di raccontarvele in una diversa circostanza. Lei ha l’abito lucente e con un gesto aggraziato volge la mano verso il cielo....In San Torpete c’è un antico organo risalente al ‘600-’700 e allora vedendolo si immagina che la sua musica abbia scandito i pensieri di molti fedeli....ci sono delle vetrinette con esposti i cuori luccicanti degli ex voto e ancora una volta circondano la figura della Madre di Dio..... It is a small church of caruggi, San Torpete can be seen from Canneto il Curto, in a typical Genoese perspective ..... It is said that this church was probably founded by some Pisans who lived nearby, they dedicated it to the original saint of their city. overlooks the square dedicated to San Giorgio and stands next to the small church dedicated to the one who killed the dragon ..... In this small square of Genoa a few steps from the sea ..... And it is a candid favor, a church illuminated in white and gold ..... On its walls you will find precious paintings, the churches of Genoa are always rich in works of art .... And above, housed in a shining niche, there is a statuette that in distant years was the object of sincere devotion .... It was once placed on the main altar and there are many past events related to this image that depicts Our Lady of Providence, I reserve the right to tell you about it in a different circumstance. She has a shiny dress and with a graceful gesture she turns her hand towards the sky .... In San Torpete there is an ancient organ dating back to the '600-'700 and then seeing it one imagines that his music has marked the thoughts of many faithful .... there are showcases with the glittering hearts of ex-votos exposed and once again surround the figure of the Mother of God .....
T	Thomas Schmiedgen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ schönes Kirchengebäude in einem engen stark verbauten Straßenzug in Genua, San Torpete ist eine Kirche in Zentralgenua, Norditalien, die dem Heiligen Torpes gewidmet ist. Es wurde im 11. Jahrhundert von lokalen Kaufleuten gegründet. Es wurde 1730 nach Entwürfen von Giovanni Antonio Ricca wieder aufgebaut.Die Kirche befindet sich auf der Piazza San Giorgio, dem Sitz des Forums der römischen Stadt, neben einer anderen historischen Kirche, der San Giorgio geweihten Kirche. Der Platz auf dem Weg zwischen dem Hafen und dem Hügel von Castello, dem ältesten Teil der Stadt, war in römischer und byzantinischer Zeit der Ort des Hauptmarktes der Stadt.Der Überlieferung nach soll die Kirche bereits im 10. Jahrhundert entstanden sein und in ihrer Nähe soll sich in den karolingischen Mauern des 9. Jahrhunderts auch eine Tür namens "Porta di S. Torpete" befunden haben, jedoch gibt es keine Beweise um diese Hypothesen zu untermauern.Die ersten dokumentierten Aufzeichnungen gehen auf die Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts zurück, als die Della Volta, eine Adelsfamilie der Kaufleute, die dieses Gebiet kontrollierte, ein Handelsbündnis mit einer Kolonie pisanischer Kaufleute einging, um ihre Ansiedlung in ihrem Gebiet zu begünstigen. Die Korporation der pisanischen Kaufleute wollte in derselben Gegend eine Kirche errichten, die San Torpete, einem Märtyrer des ersten Jahrhunderts, ihrem Mitbürger, geweiht war. Die Kirche war im romanischen Stil, aus quadratischen Steinen, mit der schwarz-weiß gestreiften Fassade, die nach dem damaligen Brauch nach Westen ausgerichtet war.Nach einigen Jahren traten die Pisaner sie an die Della Volta (die später den Namen Cattaneo annahm) ab, die sie zu ihrer eigenen Adelskirche machten und 1180 das Patronat darüber erlangten, das sie noch heute formell behalten. Im selben Jahr fand die Weihe durch Erzbischof Ugone della Volta statt, woran eine Inschrift über der Seitentür der Kirche erinnert. Ein Schreiben von Papst Leo X. vom 5. August 1519 bestätigte es als Adelspfarrei der Familie Cattaneo.[Nach den schweren Schäden durch den französischen Seebombardement von 1684 wurden einige Restaurierungen an dem mittelalterlichen Gebäude vorgenommen.Etwa fünfzig Jahre später, im Jahr 1730, beschloss Cesare Cattaneo, die Kirche komplett neu aufzubauen. Das Projekt, das Giovanni Antonio Ricca (d. J.) (1688-1748) anvertraut wurde, wurde zwischen 1730 und 1733 ausgeführt. Der kaiserliche Baumeister beschränkte sich nicht auf den Wiederaufbau der Kirche in neuen Formen, sondern gestaltete den Grundriss der Kirche völlig neu Platz , der auch die Kirche San Giorgio überragt, die ebenfalls kürzlich komplett umgebaut wurde. So entstand inmitten des mittelalterlichen Stadtgefüges der genuesischen Altstadt eine einzigartige barocke Kulisse.Die neue Kirche mit zentralem Grundriss und anderer Ausrichtung umfasste die gesamte Fläche der vorherigen und die eines angrenzenden Gebäudes, das von der Familie Cattaneo gekauft wurde, auf deren Fundamenten das Pfarrhaus errichtet wurde. Am Ende der Arbeiten wurde die Kirche am 23. November 1733 erneut geweiht und bei dieser Gelegenheit wurde der Titel S. Torpete um den Titel Santa Maria Immacolata erweitert. Die Fassade, zeitgleich mit der der angrenzenden Kirche San Giorgio, wurde um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts fertiggestellt. 1887 feierte Monsignore Giuseppe Sarto, der spätere Papst Pius X., damals Bischof von Mantua, während seines Aufenthalts in Genua einige Tage lang die Messe in San Torpete.1933 wurde unter der Leitung des Ingenieurs Giuseppe Abbiate mit einer Generalrestaurierung begonnen. Durch die Bombenangriffe des Zweiten Weltkriegs beschädigt, erlebte die Kirche eine Zeit des Verfalls und blieb lange Zeit geschlossen, in der die Pfarrfeste in der angrenzenden Kirche San Giorgio gefeiert wurden. Eine erneute Restaurierung wurde 1995 von den Architekten Gianni Bozzo und Giampiero Buffoni auf Initiative der Superintendentur für das Umwelt- und Architekturerbe und der erzbischöflichen Kurie von Genua durchgeführt. beautiful church building in a narrow heavily built-up street in Genoa, San Torpete is a church in central Genoa, northern Italy, dedicated to Saint Torpes. It was founded by local merchants in the 11th century. It was rebuilt in 1730 to designs by Giovanni Antonio Ricca. The church is located in Piazza San Giorgio, seat of the Roman city's forum, next to another historical church, the one dedicated to San Giorgio. The square on the way between the port and the hill of Castello, the oldest part of the city, was the site of the city's main market in Roman and Byzantine times. According to tradition, the church dates back to the 10th century and is close to it There is also said to have been a door called "Porta di S. Torpete" within the Carolingian walls of the 9th century, but there is no evidence to support these hypotheses. The first documented records date back to the mid-12th century, when the Della Volta, a noble family of merchants who controlled this area, entered into a commercial alliance with a colony of Pisan merchants to favor their settlement in their territory. The corporation of Pisan merchants wanted to build a church in the same area dedicated to San Torpete, a first-century martyr, their fellow citizen. The church was Romanesque in style, in square stones, with the black and white striped facade, facing west according to the custom of the time. After a few years, the Pisans ceded it to the Della Volta (which later took the name of Cattaneo), which they made their own church of nobility and gained patronage over it in 1180, which they formally retain to this day. Archbishop Ugone della Volta consecrated it that same year, as commemorated by an inscription above the side door of the church. A letter from Pope Leo X dated August 5, 1519 confirmed it as a noble parish of the Cattaneo family.[Following the severe damage caused by the French naval bombardment of 1684, some restorations were made to the medieval building. Some fifty years later, in 1730, it was decided Cesare Cattaneo to completely rebuild the church. The project, entrusted to Giovanni Antonio Ricca (the Younger) (1688-1748), was carried out between 1730 and 1733. The imperial builder did not limit himself to rebuilding the church in new forms, but completely redesigned the plan of the square, which also overlooks the church of San Giorgio, also recently completely rebuilt. In this way, a unique Baroque setting was created in the middle of the medieval urban fabric of Genoa's old town. The new church, with a central plan and different orientation, occupied the entire area of the previous one and that of an adjoining building bought by the Cattaneo family, on whose foundations the presbytery was built . At the end of the work, the church was reconsecrated on November 23, 1733 and on this occasion the title of S. Torpete was extended to include the title of Santa Maria Immacolata. The facade, coinciding with that of the adjacent church of San Giorgio, was completed around the middle of the 19th century. In 1887 Monsignor Giuseppe Sarto, later Pope Pius X, then Bishop of Mantua, celebrated Mass at San Torpete for a few days during his stay in Genoa. In 1933 a general restoration began under the direction of the engineer Giuseppe Abbiate. Damaged by the bombing of World War II, the church went through a period of decline and remained closed for long periods during which parish festivals were celebrated in the adjacent church of San Giorgio. Another restoration was carried out in 1995 by the architects Gianni Bozzo and Giampiero Buffoni on the initiative of the Superintendent for the Environmental and Architectural Heritage and the Archbishopric of Genoa.
