San Filippo Neri, also called the Chiesa dei Filippini or San Marcello in San Filippo Neri, is a Neoclassical-style, Roman Catholic church located on Corso Palladio #35 in the city of Vicenza, region of Veneto, Italy.
Members of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri had arrived to Vicenza in 1658. They had failed to create their own church, but in 1719 were assigned by the then Bishop Sebastiano Venier to the Jesuit facilities here. The next year they were assigned a small church at this site belonging to the Jesuits, and in 1730 began construction of a larger church. The design was by Giorgio Massari. However, funding even by the citizenry was sparse, and construction was very slow. The presbytery was finished only in 1747, the nave started ten years later and, halted for a long time, completed with floors only in 1822. The church was consecrated on 15 May 1825 by the bishop Giuseppe Maria Peruzzi. The bell tower erected between 1838 and 1842. The architects Domenico Cerato and Antonio Piovene had reworked the designs of Giorgio Massari.
The church was suppressed in 1810 under Napoleonic rule, but reverted to becoming a church in a few decades. It has been a parish church since 1840, and now falls under belongs to the parish of San Marcello.
The facade has four statues in niches: depicting the Virgin and Charity, and Saints Lawrence and Paul. Inside, the decoration has a richer baroque bent. The statues depict the four evangelists and Christ the Redeemer, attributed to the studio of Orazio Marinali. Stucco plaques recount the story of St Phillip Neri. The organ was built by De Lorenzi-Zordan in 1833. [1]

Charitable institutions attached to churches in Rome were founded right through the medieval period and included hospitals, hostels, and others providing assistance to pilgrims to Rome from a certain "nation", which thus became these nations' national churches in Rome. These institutions were generally organised as confraternities and funded through charity and legacies from rich benefactors belonging to that "nation". Often also they were connected to national "scholae", where the clergymen were trained. The churches and their riches were a sign of the importance of their nation and of the prelates that supported them. Up to 1870 and Italian unification, these national churches also included churches of the Italian city states.
