The Chiesa della Confraternita della Santissima Trinità, known as that of the Battuti Rossi, built starting from 1730 and consecrated in 1739, is one of the most evocative examples of Piedmontese Baroque in the Cuneo area. It was designed by Monregalese architect Francesco Gallo, who had built the adjacent hospital in Fossano in the previous decade.

The complex, located at one end of the central Via Roma, has a compact brick facing, typical of Gallo's architecture, and combines the bulk of the hospital with the curvilinear aspect of the church. The interior decorations host the work of brothers Pietro Antonio and Giovanni Pietro Pozzo for the fake architecture, Michele Antonio Milocco for the frescoes, Cipriano Beltramelli and Bernardino Barelli for the stuccos. The result is a real triumph of light and colour.

The interior, in the form of a Greek cross, with two side chapels and a deep semicircular presbytery, hosts a beautiful oval altarpiece with Crucifixion and SS. Trinity on the high altar. Twelve carved and lacquered wooden women’s galleries, the work of local wood workers, look down from the top of the walls, allowing the patients in the hospital connected to the church, to attend the religious services.

The building was commissioned by the Confraternity of the Battuti Rossi, dedicated to assisting the sick and to charity, who still play an active role in the maintenance and development of the property today. There were two other brotherhoods in the city: that of the SS. Sacramento or del Gonfalone, known as the Battuti Bianchi, which was responsible for raising funds to free Christians who had fallen prisoners of the infidels; and that of San Giovanni the Beheaded, or della Misericordia, called dei Battuti Neri, which assisted prisoners and those sentenced to death.
