Madonna Addolorata al Torresino
Via Memmo
Padua, May 2025
“The Madonna Addolorata al Torresino, also called the Santa Maria del Pianto or Santa Maria del Torresino is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the city of Padua, region of Veneto, Italy. An oratory was present at the site adjacent to a torresino (turret) of fortifications. By the 1450s, an icon of the Virgin, painted on a wall by an Antonio dal Santo, was said to fulfill miracles. The present church was built in 1718-1726 using designs by Girolamo Frigimelica Roberti, and completed by Sante Bonato. The church is presently still called ‘Torresino’ due to the tower that crowns the dome, designed by Frigimelica.” (Madonna Addolorata al Torresino, Wikipedia)
