What people say

"Together with the «twin» S. Cristina it closes the southern side of Piazza San Carlo. Historical seat of the Servants of Mary, it is named after Saint Charles Borromeo, the holy Archbishop of Milan who had a particular devotion to the Shroud. Emanuele Filiberto in fact brought the Cloth to Turin in 1578 to shorten the journey of the Bishop who, on foot, was going to Chambéry to venerate it. The church dates back to 1619, but the facade was only built in 1834 on the model of S. Cristina."
