Why is this church so red? The Chiesa di Santa Giulia certainly catches the eye with its striking red and white facade. This majestic church, built in the heart of the Vanchiglia borough, stands as a testament to the compassion of a remarkable woman, the Marquise Giulia Falletti di Barolo. In the mid-1800s, Vanchiglia was a neighborhood plagued by poverty and illness. The Marquise, known for her charitable work, often came to the aid of its residents. The people of Vanchiglia yearned for a place of worship, a spiritual anchor in their lives. They had a dream of a church, a dream that seemed impossible due to their meager means. The Marquise, moved by their plight and desire, decided to champion their cause. In 1862, she generously funded the construction of the Chiesa di Santa Giulia, ensuring it was dedicated to her namesake, Saint Julia of Corsica. Tragically, the Marquise passed away in 1864, two years before the church’s completion. She never witnessed the culmination of her generosity, yet her legacy lived on in the soaring arches and intricate details of the church. Her final resting place is within these very walls, a poignant reminder of her enduring spirit.
