• ROME

In the center of Rome, in Rione Trevi, near the Quirinale, Via del Tritone and Piazza Barberini, I point out this gem: The Oratory of SS. Crucifix.

An Oratorio frescoed by major mannerist painters working in Rome at the end of the sixteenth century: Giovanni de Vecchi, Pomarancio and Cesare Nebbia. (XVI-XVII centuries)

The oratory was built to celebrate the miracle that, in 1519, saved from a terrible fire that destroyed the nearby Church of San Marcello, the wooden crucifix of 1400.

 

Today it houses the Roman Oratory Music.

The Oratory  of SS. Crucifix
Piazza dell’Oratorio, Roma
Opening to the public: 7:00 to 12:00, 16:30 to 19:00

See you!
