Exterior view of the chapel, west façade of S. Maria della Vittoria, depicting upper window and hidden light source; 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.
