This church is one of the numerous creations of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Any problems associated with the lateral view of the façade were resolved with a contrapuntal play of concave and convex lines, which invite the observer inside.
The interior of the church looks like a stage setting: chapels open off the nave but your attention is drawn to the dynamism of the dome. This pearl of the baroque, as
Sant'Andrea has been called, is decorated with marble of exceptional beauty.
Opposite the church is the side entrance to the
Quirinale Palace's famous gardens, among the most beautiful gardens in Italy. The President opens them to the public on June 2 to celebrate the national holiday celebrating the Republic.
Continuing along the same street, you arrive at the church of San Carlo, another Roman baroque creation.
