Between the thirty-three drawings of Guarino Guarini published in 1686, to three years from his death, they are two devotes to the church of Somaschi Fathers to Messina. Guarini had lived in Messina since 1660 at 1662, but very probably it didn't plan the building during this brief permanence, him in fact to that times it was primarily devoted to the teaching of mathematics and philosophy near the school of his order the Teatini.

This church for it complexity seems being, instead, a work mature fruit of experiences and reflections that will develop subsequently. Of this Church few knows each other; the rare articles already published are assembled particularly on stylistic analysis, abdicating to a historical deepening that would result, today, very precious to understand some select progettualis of the Guarini and, above all, to deepen his biography.
