Rome - San Gregorio Magno
|
|
The church of San Gregorio, which is approached by a large flight of steps, was founded in 575 - before he became Pope - by Gregory the Great, a member of the Antitii family, who converted his family house on this site into a convent. It was rebuilt in the medieval period and completely re-fashioned in the Baroque period, by Giovanni Battista Sorià (1629-33), on the model of the church of Sant'Ignazio, though on a smaller scale.
