This is the future site of the fabled Basilica di Sant'Andrea Della Valle although construction won't start for another 80 or so years. The land was bequeathed to the Duchess of Amalfi who herself was a descendant of Pope Pius II. She was then charged by the order of Theatine with the responsibility of erecting a church in honour of Saint Andrew.
Although she did not live to see it completed in 1650, the final product was something to behold, celebrated the world over for its stunning interior.
