This small temple lies away from the tourist routes, on one of the narrow streets of old Bologna. Personally, I really liked it with its terracotta ornaments, which are almost indistinguishable in color from the brick. The whole facade in the images, garlands, ornaments and at the same time there is no feeling of any pomp or pretentiousness.
Built in 1481-1497 by Celestine monks, the oratory received the fraternity of the Holy Spirit. The building was reconstructed in 1550. The original facade with rich terracotta ornaments was preserved. In 1798 the oratory was closed and the monastic fraternity banned. The whole house was restored in 1892-1893 by Alfonso Rubbiani, as evidenced by a memorial plaque on its facade.
