Church of Santa Maria dei Sette Dolori (Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows)
Via Garibaldi, Trastevere
Rome, April 2013
“Francesco Borromini designed the unusual façade of the nunnery; he clearly had in mind a curved wall of Villa Adriana which projects from a flat one; also in the use of small flat bricks for decorative purposes the architect showed his knowledge of the ancient Roman construction techniques. ” (Chiesa e Monastero di S. Maria dei Sette Dolori, A Rome Art Lover's Web Page)
