1Chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria CHURCH

map Google map

Designed by Carlo Maderno, this modest church is an unlikely setting for an extraordinary work of art – Bernini’s extravagant and sexually charged Santa Teresa trafitta dall’amore di Dio (Ecstasy of St Teresa). This daring sculpture depicts Teresa, engulfed in the folds of a flowing cloak, floating in ecstasy on a cloud while a teasing angel pierces her repeatedly with a golden arrow. It’s in the fourth chapel on the north side. (%06 4274 0571; www.chiesasantamariavittoriaroma.it; Via XX Settembre 17; h7am-noon & 3.30-7.15pm; mRepubblica)
