Torino, Chiesa del Corpus Domini

“SACRA AEDIS - CHRISTI CORPORI DICATAE PROSPECTUS INTER.

Published by Haeredes Ioannis Blaeu. 1682 – Copperplate Engraving

This may be a plate Blaeu's from Theatrum Sabaudiae (The Theater of Magnificence).

The Church of Corpus Domini in Turin is dedicated to a miracle which took place during the sack of the city in 1453. A soldier was trying to steal the ostensorium containing the Blessed Sacrament, but the ostensorium fell to the ground, while the Host remained suspended in air.

The Chiesa del Corpus Domini was built in 1610, and is the work of Ascanio Vittozzi.
