Oratori di Sant'Andrea, Santa Silvia e Santa Barbara al Celio
Historic site · Celio, Italy
Three free-standing chapels in the garden of the church of San Gregorio al Celio. No source states their opening hours, so none are given here.
History
Roma Capitale records that the Cappella di Sant'Andrea, in the centre, holds frescoes by Domenichino and by Guido Reni, and that Reni also painted the apse Concerto degli Angeli in the Cappella di Santa Silvia. The Cappella di Santa Barbara contains the Triclinio, the marble table at which Gregory served lunch to twelve poor men; in memory of it, every Maundy Thursday until 1870 the pope served lunch here to thirteen poor men.
