Santi Apostoli (Piazza dei Santi Apostoli)
A basilica of the sixth century rebuilt in the fifteenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century by Domenico and Carlo Fontana. The doorway with its nine arcades that enclose some Roman ruins is the work of Baccio Pontelli and dates to the late fifteenth century. The nineteenth-centuryfacade is by Valadier. The interior has three naves, with a chapel surmounted by a dome. The frescoes by Baciccia and Odazzi are interesting, as is the altarpiece by Domenico Muratori. At the back of the left nave is the monument of Clement XIV, the first Roman work by Canova. |
