Description:
|
A 17th century private chapel in the Palazzo Altemps. All the palazzi in Rome at the time would have had at least one private chapel. The one in the Palazzo Altemps is singular in that it contains the shrine of a saint, Pope St. Anicetus. This gave it the status of a church, and the liturgy was celebrated publicly there on the saint's former feast day of April 17th. In 1604, Pope Clement VIII gave Giovanni Angelo Altemps the alleged relics of the pope. The wall frescoes and the frieze of putti were executed by Antonio Circignani (Il Pomarancio), but the vaults and ceiling are probably by Polidoro Mariottini.
