Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi
Via dei Portoghesi
Rome, June 2019
“The church and hospice were closed in 1799 during Napoleon's occupation; the Portuguese government recovered the property in 1814. The hospice later became the Istituto Portoghese di Sant'Antonio in Roma which sponsors, language classes, conferences, and concerts.[4] The church's main organ is located on the balcony over the entrance. The barrel vault ceiling is stuccoed by Pompeo Gentile and frescoed by Salvatore Nobili. The interior is decorated in polychrome marble. The main altarpiece is Giacinto Calandrucci's 1707 The Virgin handing the Holy Child to St Anthony.” (Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi, Wikipedia)
