chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria

Roma, Italy

Now unfortunately invaded by readers of Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" this is an interesting Baroque church containing Bernini's "Ecstasy of St. Teresa". Either side of this chapel are characters in what can best be described as theatre boxes. These are members of the Cornaro family, who paid for

Bernini's sculpture. (As of Feb 2015, not visible due to restoration work)
