This year the Oratory in Verona is celebrating its 300th anniversary. The Oratorians were given the Church of San Fermo Minor by Bishop Gianfrancesco Barbarigo in an official decree signed on 20 April 1713.

Here is a close up of the carving in the centre of the altar which depicts St Philip levitating during the consecration at Mass:

At the back of the church is this shrine to Our Lady:
A statue of Saint Philip Neri stands in the entrance to the church:
Some photographs of the exterior of the church and the anniversary banner:
The Verona Oratory is in Via Filippini, Verona. More information (in Italian) about their tercentenary is available on their website.
