Touring St Maria Maggiore
At first glance, the large façade, built on the previous one, is striking.
Works began on 4 March 1741 by Ferdinando Fuga.
Note the portico with five openings at the bottom and three in the upper loggia.
Behind the mosaics of the XIII century are still visible of the ancient facade.
The author of the mosaics is Filippo Rusuti and they show themselves to the visitor in all their magnificence.
Note the wonderful play of voids skilfully alternating with columns, round arches, capitals, cornices and statues depicting St Carlo and the Holy Pontiffs.
Particular attention deserves the Virgin and Child who seems to hover in the air.
In the transept there are rounded frescoed with figures of the Prophets, brought to light in 1931, variously attributed to Cavallini, Cimabue or the young Giotto.
Back in the right aisle, you will first encounter the Chapel of the Relics and then the large Sistine Chapel, commissioned by Sixtus V to Peretti who entrusted its construction to Domenico Fontana.
Completely frescoed by late Roman Mannerist artists directed by Cesare Nebbia and Giovanni Guerra, the chapel incorporates the ancient Oratory of the Nativity, here arranged by the Fountain.
