San Filippo Neri with the crèche by Mikebond
The church of San Filippo Neri was built in Neoclassic style. Its dome collapsed in 1714 and the task to reconstruct it was given to Filippo Juvarra, who finished the work in 1730.During Christmas time, it hosts the famous Presepio dei Pastori ("Shepherd crèche"). This crèche is very old. You can read (only in Italian) a sheet with notations on how it was built or why it was not built year by year from the end of the 18th to the 19th century. This gives you an idea of Torino's history, as well.
