Martino Longhi the Younger and the Façade of San Giovanni Calibita in RomeFootnote

Pages 71-74 | Published online: 03 Nov 2014
 

Abstract

On May 3, 1644, a meeting was held of the capitolo conventuale of the order of the Fatebenefratelli at San Giovanni Calibita. Among other subjects discussed, it is recorded in the acts of the meeting that the fathers considered “se si dovesse eseguire il disegno della facciata della nostra chiesa fatto dal Sig. Martin Longo con l'elemosina che ha promesso il Sig. Durante Ferrati; communemente hanno risposto esser cosa buona, e che avendo l'elemosina subito si dasse principio.”1 Thus it is apparent that the Roman architect Martino Longhi the Younger prior to this time had received a commission and designed a project for the façade of this small church on the Isola Tiberina.2 Unhappily the project was never executed and the cause of its rejection is undocumented.
