A presentation by Alessandro Sbrilli, Giammarco Ricci and Tommaso Dezi
• Santa Maria del Popolo: a church in the center of Rome
• Construction can be divided in more phases:
-during the Crusades -under Pope Paschal II -under Pope Gregory IX
• Reconstruction of the church by Baccio Pontelli and Andrea Bregno
• The enrichment of the interior with the addition of Chapel Chigi
• Bernini modifies the facade in 1655-60
The inside plan has the form of a latin cross and it’s divided in three naves.
Now I’m going to talk about:- Right nave: First chapel, Cybo Chapel, Basso della Rovere Chapel, Costa Chapel - High Altar- Right and left transepts and Cerasi Chapel- Vault and Dome- Left nave: Mellini Chapel, Chigi Chapel, Baptistery
• Finding the murderer
• The coming to the church
• The dome of Chapel Chigi: a chapel full of pagan symbols
(stars, planets and zodiacal signs)
• Another murder?
