Description

S. TOMMASO IN PARIONE The church was consacrated in 1139 by InnocenzoII. In 1449 Niccolò V granted it to the Compagnia degli Scrittori or Copistidella Curia which then settled down at the Collegio Cardini, which was annexedto the church. In 1582 it was rebuilt conformingly with a project by Francescoda Volterra and restored during C. XIX. The façade, made of bricks in two orders andarticulated in Ionian columns, embodies the entry portal in the lower partamidst two grated windows. In the upper order there is a window with stuccodecorations and dominated by a curvilinear tympanum. Theinterior’s plan encompasses three naves divided by eight pilasters. On the mainaltar one finds an anonymous painting dating back to C. XVII and portraying theincumbent saint. To the sides, some frescoes portraying S. Filippo Neri. Not tobe missed the painting “Annunciazione” by G. Passeri.
