San Carlo ai Catinari
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
San Carlo ai Catinari is a church in Rome. The church is devoted to St. Charles Borromeo. The attibute ai Catinari refers to the presence, at the time of its building, of many dishmaker shops in the same street of the church.
The church was built between 1636 and 1638, funded by the Milanese community in Rome to honour St. Charles Borromeo, who had been bishop of Milan.
The painting on the main altar is by Pietro da Cortona, while the apse was decorated by Guido Reni.
