The church, stands on the site of a 15C oratory
and hospice. It was rebuilt in 17C by Carlo Fontana who was succeeded
by followers of Bernini. The façade, in Rococo style, was
erected later in 1735 by Giuseppe Sardi; its contorted lines and
abundant decorations are an exaggeration of Borromini’s style.
Also the interior is a rare example of the Rococo’ in Rome.
