General view of the nave, looking towards the entry and organ gallery, looking up and depicting the ceiling (fresco in nave and dome are by Giovanni Domenico Cerrini, organ gallery over entrance is by Mattia de'Rossi, 1677); The church is the only structure designed and completed by the early Baroque architect Carlo Maderno, though the interior suffered a fire in 1833 and required restoration. Its façade, however, was erected by Soria during Maderno's lifetime, 1624-1626, showing the unmistakable influence of Maderno's Santa Susanna nearby.
