San Carlo Borromeo is a Baroque, Roman Catholic church located on Corso Giovecca #191, a block east of the Castello Estense in Ferrara, region of Emilia-Romgana, Italy. ==History== Construction of this church took place from 1612-1623, at the site of a chapel dedicated to Saint Filippo e Giacomo, designed by Alberto Schiatti, for the hospital of Santa Anna, which once extended parallel to the facade. The San Carlo church was designed by Giovanni Battista Aleotti, commissioned by Cardinal Carlo Emmanuele Pio.〔(Memorie istoriche delle chiese di Ferrara e de' suoi borghi ), by Giuseppe Antenore Scalabrini, editor Carlo Coatti (1773), page 139.〕 The earthquake of 2012 caused closure of the church. Restoration of the facade was recently patronized by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Ferrara.〔(ProLoco Ferrara ) website, entry on church.〕 By 2013, reinforcement of the roof was complete.〔(Telestense ), article dated November 4, 2013.〕 The facade is decorated by emotive statues of saints and two angels holding a heraldic shield. The angels were sculpted by Angelo Putti, and some have attributed all the statues. Behind the facade is an oval layout with two lateral chapels. The apse contain wooden choir stalls. The nave has stucco statues of the four doctors of the church: ''Augustine'', ''Gregory the Great'', ''Jerome'', and ''Ambrose'' by an 18th-century sculptors of the Venetian-school.〔ProLoco Ferrara website, entry on church.〕 The ceiling was frescoed in 1674 by Giuseppe Avanzi with collaboration of the quadraturist Giuseppe Menegatti.〔(Guida pel forestiero in Ferrara ), by Luigi Napoleone Cittadella, (1873) page 117.〕 In the center oval, Avanzi painted the ''Glory of the Virgin with Saints Ambrose and Carlo Borromeo''.
