Reconstructed by the Jesuits in
the late 16th century on the site
of the older church of Sant’Ambrogio,
the Gesù has a sumptuous interior
reflecting Genoa’s golden age.
Inlaid marble, stuccoes and frescoes
create an ornate setting for two
important works by Rubens, the
Flemish artist who painted for
various Genoese nobles. Locator Map
