The narrow church or oratory of San Gaetano di Thiene is found in the middle of via dei Pispini in Siena Italy.The oratory of the aristocratic Contrada del Nicchio (Sea-shell) was built from 1683-1700 . The simple façade sports a large stucco seashell over the doorway. It houses a 14th-century painting depicting a Madonna and Child with Saints which is likely the icon of Madonna del Forcone that had been previously venerated at an aedicule where the church stands.
