Santa Brigida

where: Piazza Farnese
open: not available

This little convent church on the right side of Piazza Farnese is dedicated to Saint Bridget of Sweden.
It was built in the 16th century with the late-Baroque facade added by Andrea Fucina in 1705.
Inside is the ceiling painting from 1709 by Biagio Puccino, thought to be inspired by il Baciccio's ceiling in il Gesù.
In the right hand side chapel is a copy of the lost Annibale Carracci painting of Our Lady and the Holy Child by Virginio Monti.
