Oratorio dell'Angelo Custode

where: Piazza Poli/Via del Tritone
hours: 7:30-23:00

In the little Piazza Poli on the Via del Tritone, is the Oratorio dell'Angelo Custode.
This church, not far from the Corso, was originally named the Oratorio della Santissimo Sacramento al Tritone, but recently has been retitled, in memory of a demolished church nearby that was dedicated to the Guardian Angels.

The original church was built in 1576 although the facade, designed by Carlo Rainaldi, wasn't competed until 1681.

In the 18th century the church underwent a major rebuild and in the 19th century the church interior was again restored and redecorated by Luigi Martinori.

The large canvas altarpiece at the main altar depicting the Holy Family, is by late Baroque artist Francesco Trevisani.
