The Church of Santa Maria della Pace (one of the Renaissance and Baroque jewels of Rome)

According to legend, in 1480, the image of the Virgin under the porch began to bleed, after being hit by a stone thrown by a drunk soldier. Pope Sixtus IV renamed it Santa Maria della Virtù. The church was later called Santa Maria della Pace to commemorate the end of the war between the Papal States, Venice, and the Kingdom of Naples. After crossing the ancient 15th-century portal, you enter this church with a single nave and side chapels. Among these, we mention the beautiful Chigi Chapel commissioned by Agostino Chigi to Pietro da Cortona. The drawing is by Raphael, who also conceived and created the fresco above the arch of the chapel depicting Sibyls and Angels and the four Prophets in the lunette, completed by his pupil Timoteo Viti, after his death. In 1614, Carlo Maderno designed the altar to frame the painting of the Madonna and Child.
