San Salvatore in Onda
Historic site · Regola, Italy
A church of three aisles on twelve columns, with a medieval crypt on three small aisles where a large Corinthian capital serves as the altar. Its name comes from the Tiber floods. The Tamburini organ, opus 280 of 1949, has 23 stops, two manuals and pedal.
History
The church is of the late eleventh or early twelfth century and is first named in a bull of Honorius II of 1127, which mentions presbiter Crescentius Salvatoris in Unda. Eugene IV gave it to the Conventual Franciscans in 1445, and on 14 August 1844 Gregory XVI gave it to Vincenzo Pallotti for his new society. Luca Carimini reworked it and uncovered the original columns and capitals. Cesare Mariani's Madonna col bambino of 1878 is in the apse, Vincenzo Pallotti's urn is on the high altar, and Elisabetta Sanna is buried here.
