Museum and Crypt of Capuchins Friars
Stop: 90 minutes
Santa Maria Immacolata is the Capuchins church in Rome, built by Pope Urbano VIII Barberini (XVII c.) close to Piazza Barberini, in Via Veneto, one of the most famous streets of Rome, set of the film La Dolce Vita, by Federico Fellini.
Inside the church, you can see masterpieces by Guido Reni (S. Michele Arcangelo), Domenichino, Pietro da Cortona, Gherardo delle Notti, Antonio Sacchi and others.
