The church is located in Via Brunenghi, not far from the walls of Finalborgo; its churchyard is covered with pebbles. Originally dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, it is also known as Chiesa degli Scolopi (Church of the Piarists) because since 1831 Piarists moved here and then the name of the founder, Saint Joseph Calasanctius, was added. Piarists, whose mission is education of poor people, have played an important educational action for Finale and surroundings.
