"In an instant you are thrown from the Piazza Castello noise to a silence that also helps you remain for a moment in artistic and spiritual contemplation.
I advise those who do not know this church to stop and cross the door for a moment. The rest comes by itself".

San Lorenzo Church Friends Association

Friends of San Lorenzo Church Association

From the concrete experience of volunteering particularly developed on the occasion of the Holy Shroud ostensions from 1998 to 2015, a stable group of lay people has gradually formed and the proposal to organize a group with the aim of protecting, enhancing and promoting the historical, artistic and architectural heritage of the Royal Church of San Lorenzo was born. The main purpose of the Association is to welcome visitors and help them to discover the historical and artistic contents of the Royal Church, one of Guarini masterpieces.
