Description
General view, from north; Part of the operations of the Ospedale di Spirito in Sassia, the foundling hospice founded by Innocent III in 1200. In 1605 Paul V founded La Banca di Santo Spirito (the bank) to face the economical part of hospice management in better way. "The facade is more a visual than an architectural statement, since it exists independently of the buildings behind it." Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/ (accessed 3/8/2008)
