The beautiful façade, built in an architectural style that proliferated throughout the 18th century, stands out from a small open space half-way down Via Chiassi. Built at the behest of the order of the Servants of Mary, who had been based in a convent here since the 14th century, it is the crowning achievement of a full restoration by the architect Moscatelli Battaglia. It is one of the largest churches in Mantua. The vast interior is adorned by rococo-style stucco decorative elements and a number of interesting paintings from previous eras.
