The first decades of the century in Chieri are dominated by the so called late-Manierism period of the painter Moncalvo and other painters of his school, such as Orsola Caccia, Giovanni Crosio, Francesco Fea and Cerutti-Fea brothers.
Beginning in the 1930’s, the paintings that can be seen in the churches of Chieri emphasize all the artistic tendencies evident in Turin and in Piedmont: the Roman Classicism in the Cathedral (Jan Miel, Bartolomeo Caravoglia, Giovanni Francesco Sacchetti); the Lombard style in the Cathedral and in the church of Santa Margherita (Nuvolone, Recchi); the Genoa school in the Cathedral (Domenico Fiasella); French baroque style in the Cathedral (Charles Dauphin); the Roman baroque and Rubens style in the Cathedral and in the San Filippo church (Giovanni Andrea Casella, Giovanni Antonio Mari, Sebastiano Taricco); the baroque Neapolitan influence in the Charity Hospice building (perhaps by Mattia Preti) and the Caravaggio style in the Sanctuary of the Annunciation (Giovanni Claret).
