Chiesa di Santa Maria della Consolazione
Historic site · Campitelli, Italy
it.wikipedia places the church of Santa Maria della Consolazione in the rione Campitelli, on the square of the same name at the foot of the Tarpeian Rock, within the parish of Santa Maria in Portico in Campitelli and served by the Capuchins; it dates the earlier church's dedication to 3 November 1470 and the present building to 1585-1600. Overpass places the square itself in Ripa, and it.wikipedia's own rione article names piazza della Consolazione as the Ripa boundary.
History
it.wikipedia explains the dedication: the church was named "della consolazione" for the consoling of those condemned to death on the Tarpeian Rock above it, where sentences were carried out until 1550.
