IN 1775, The Marquis de Sade wrote of it, “I have never seen anything more striking.” Granted, the crypt was to his tastes.

The church of Saint Ignazio was supposed to have a glorious dome, but when the money ran out in 1642, the plans were scrapped.

Instead of forgoing the dome entirely, painter and Jesuit brother Andrea Pozzo proposed that he paint a life-sized illusion of a dome that would fool the eyes of visitors (as long as they looked up from the proper angle). His masterpiece, painted between 1685 and 1694, still deceives the eye today.

The Passetto del Biscione is a covered passage, connecting via di Grotta Pinta with Piazza del Biscione, a few meters from Campo de' Fiori. The Passetto once housed the aedicule of the Madonna della Misericordia from the sixteenth century by Scipione Pulzone. From this image derives the Roman saying "cercà Maria pe’ Roma" "go and look for Mary in Rome", because the fresco of the Madonna was so hidden in the passage that finding it was very difficult.
