Rome - December 28, 2011 - San Carlo al Corso

San Carlo al Corso
San Carlo al Corso is dedicated to Saints Ambrose of Milan and Charles Borromeo (see San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane). Borromeo was a bit of a character, suppressor of heresy, burner of witches and generally the life of any party. Funnily enough we would run into him again in Milan when we visited the crypt of Milan Cathedral where his creepy silver covered face peeks out of his rock crystal coffin. I’m pretty sure I took a picture of the front of San Carlo as it is right on the Corso and must have passed it half a dozen times.

The picture through the arch mentioned in the last two posts looks rather picturesque.
