The interior, with a single nave and smaller in size than the previous church, is an elegant example of <strong>Ligurian baroque<\/strong>: rich in gilding, frescoes on the vault and precious furnishings, including the high altarpiece, attributed to Baciccio, depicting the Virgin of the Rosary with St. Catherine of Siena and St. Dominic. In the apse, decorated with gilded stucco, are two small paintings of the Virgin and St. Elizabeth, while large crucifixes and carved wooden lanterns stand out along the pews.<\/p>\n<p>The fraternity every year on July 2 celebrates the <strong>Feast of the Visitation<\/strong>, also known as the Feast of the Sea.

It became the church of the Benedictine monastery of St. John until the nuns were removed in the 13th century. In the early 1300s it again became the <strong>town parish of the fledgling borough<\/strong>, a place of worship but also of assembly for the brethren and the population. With the construction of the new parish of St. John the Baptist around 1450, the building remained the property of the <strong>Brotherhood of Whites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In later centuries, during the transit of foreign troops, the building was often used as a bivouac. Its present appearance dates back to 18th-century restorations, which shaped the facade, small bell tower and <strong>sober single-nave interior<\/strong>. Today the oratory, home to the Confraternity of the White Disciplinants, holds impressive crucifixes, flashlights and sticks used in traditional processions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col child_column has-animation left_padding_desktop_16pct left_padding_tablet_0px left_padding_phone_0px\"   data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"slight-fade-in-from-bottom\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center custom-size tl_br_30px tr_br_30px bl_br_30px br_br_30px\" data-max-width=\"100%\" data-max-width-mobile=\"default\" data-border-radius=\"custom\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-animation=\"none\" >\n      <div class=\"inner\">\n        <div class=\"hover-wrap\"> \n          <div class=\"hover-wrap-inner\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy nectar-lazy nectar-object-cover\" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"430\" width=\"798\" data-animation=\"none\" data-nectar-img-src=\"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/oratorio-disciplinati-bianchi.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20798%20430'%2F%3E\" alt=\"St. G.
