  • Cover photo description:
  • The church of Santa in Maria in Cappella today part of the Museum of the same name in Rome, Italy. The church was consecrated about 1090. The Doria Pamphilj family bought the freehold of the church in 1653. In 1857 the family decided that a nursing home for the elderly was more needed in the area than a private pleasure garden, and so founded one. This was first such institution in Rome, and still functions as such today. It is administered by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul from 1858, and is now known as the Casa di Riposo Francesca Romana. The much-needed restoration was begun in 2011, and was approaching completion in 2017. In March of that year, the church and part of the Hospice were opened to the public as the Museo di Santa Maria in Cappella. Visitors may also enter the garden, and view its spectacular Baroque architectural setting.
