•
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?
