Cappella Torlonia
Prince Alessandro Torlonia commissioned Quintilliano Raimondi to design the chapel, built between 1830 and 1850. The incredibly ornate and curvaceous bronze railings at the entrance, with four candlesticks and a central cross, are by Giacomo Luswergh. Unfortunately the gate is kept locked. This is one of the last chapels built for a noble family in Rome.
