Historical note about the site/monument: Located in the Trastevere neighborhood, Santa Maria dell’Orto is a three-nave church completed in the 1566/7. It was designed by an unknown architect associated with Bramante in order to house a miraculous painting of the Virgin and Child. Its construction was financed by a group of 12 università (professional associations, or groups of craftsmen). The façade of the church has changed little since the 16^th century, but the frescoes of its interior (many of which were added a century or more after the completion of the building) have a varied and occasionally Baroque style. Paintings by Zucarri can be found in the apse and frescoes by Baglione, famed rival of Caravaggio, in the presbytery and certain side chapels.
