Santa Maria della Vittoria
Santa Maria della Vittoria is a Catholic titular church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Rome, Italy. Completed in 1620, it is the only structure designed and completed by the early Baroque architect Carlo Maderno. The interior, shown here, has a single wide nave under a low segmental vault, with three interconnecting side chapels behind arches separated by colossal Corinthian pilasters with gilded capitals that support an enriched entablature. Contrasting marble revetments are enriched with white and gilded stucco angels and putti in full relief.Photograph credit: Livioandronico2013
