The Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo is a place not to be missed due to its location on the magnificent Piazza del Popolo and also due of the huge works of art of high value that are present there. The church comes from a small chapel from the 11th century, built at the expense of the Roman people, from which the name comes. Then it was completely rebuilt in the 15th century . In the mid-seventeenth century, Gianlorenzo Bernini gave it a distinct Baroque impression. The interior has the shape of a basilica with three naves, a transept and a semicircular apse, with four side chapels on each side and two important chapels on the left side of the main altar. Inside the church you can find a lot of works of art, primarily at the Cerasi Chapel the works of two fundamental painters of contemporary artistic history, Annibale Caracci with the painting of the altar of the "Assumption of the Virgin", and on the sides two wonderful paintings of Caravaggio, "Crucifixion of Saint Peter" and "Conversion of Saint Paul ". It is such a beautiful church. Definitely worth a visit.

What a gorgeous ornate Baroque treasure on the busiest street in Rome! Simple facade designed by Carlo Rinaldi does not prepare a visitor to the opulence and luxury of the interior nave marble decorations. The colors of dark blue and terra-cotta marble gracefully blend with abundance of statues, elaborate stucco reliefs and paintings. I am very happy that I stumbled upon this magnificent Baroque treasure.

The Basilica known also as an Carlo al Corso is located on the famous shopping street Via del Corso and is being easily ignore due hectic shopping. Additionally it is integrated to other buildings, so might easily ignore it, plenty of people sitting on its stairs. The church is dedicated to Saint Ambrose and Saint Charles Borromeo, whose canonization gave starting point for constructions 1610. It is very beautiful from inside and has plenty of decorations to admire. Of course during a hot day, it offers cool break. Summary: highly recommend.

What a stunning church this is on the Via Del Corso, near to the Piazza Del Popolo. There are marvellous paintings and sculptures inside and the ceiling is spectacular although apparently a little controversial after reading a brief history of the church posted just inside the door.

All Saints' is an open-mided and welcoming Anglican community in the heart of Rome. Our main service is the Sunday Choral Eucharist, we also offer other services during the week, from Holy Communion to Choral Evensong. The church building is a very fine red-brick construction in a neo-gothic style, situated in the Via del Babuino, about 100 metres from the Spanish Steps. We hope you can join us, the Church of England welcomes you!

I've seen the opera La traviata countless time in big concert halls and I absolutely loved this performance in a very intimate setting. This was a semi staged opera near the gorgeous church Altar with only a few musicians and singers. Yet the beauty of the opera remained despite the much smaller scale than usual. The singing was stunning and the musicians did an heroic job. Wow I'm still super impressed. During the same trip I saw La Traviata at the Salone Marguerita - another intimate experience but with a totally different vibe. I loved it as well but for the purity of the setting I would recommend as a priority to see the church version.
