The guardian of Sant' Agnese

Last May I spent a week with my classmates in the city of Rome. In the mornings our group only visited the most emblematic sites of this beautiful city, guided by our teachers. Yes, during the long afternoons walking until our feet could not take it, we got to know Rome in its totality. Travelling from other side to the other however, more than once or twice a day we appeared suddenly in Piazza Navona, who became for us the symbol of that trip that we will never forget. In the picture is the entrance to the Church of Saint Agnes in Agone and part of the Fountain of Four Rivers, which presides

The soul of Piazza Navona

El alma de Piazza Navona

Santa Agnese in Agone es la iglesia colindante a la Piazza Navona. Cuenta la tradición que la niña santa fue expuesta desnuda en la picota y fue cuando tuvo lugar el prodigioso crecimiento de sus cabellos de forma que la cubrieron completamente. El aspecto actual de la iglesia se debe al Papa Inocencio X Pamphili que encargó restaurar toda la plaza. El interior de Santa Agnese in Agone da la impresión de mayor amplitud debido a la luz procedente de las ventanas de la cúpula. La decoración es rica en estucos dorados y mármoles preciados, en las dos capillas del crucero han sido empleadas por Borromini columnas de verde antiguo procedentes de San Giovanni in Laterano. La cúpula está pintada al fresco por Ciro Ferri y en los altares todos los trabajos fueron ejecutados por los principales discípulos de Bernini. En el subterráneo está el antiguo oratorio medieval con un altar sobre el cual destaca "el milagro de los cabellos de Santa Agnese", magnífico relieve en mármol realizado por A. Algardi. Adjunto algunas instantáneas de la iglesia.
