Santa Maria Maddalena
Saint Mary Magdalene
Piazza della Maddalena
Rome, June 2019
“The interior consists of a single elliptical nave with chapels on the sides, a transept and a deep apse that integrate perfectly with the later Rococo decorations. On the counter-façade there is a an extraordinary 18th-century organ loft involving gilded wooden carving and allegorical statues in white stucco. The beatiful sacristy is a unique example of the Roman Barocchetto style made between 1738 and 1741, with wooden wardrobes and presses painted to resemble marble. The ceiling vault was frescoed by Girolamo Pesce.” (Church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Campo Marzio, Turismo Roma)
