Here is another church near the Capitalini, "Mary, Virgin and Mother of God.
I think this is St. Feliciti
St. Rita
St. Espedito. Below is a close-up of the base of the statue. I think he stepped on a bird.
These are the outside of Mary, Virgin and Mother of God.
I think this one was the Church of the Apostles.
There were just about to have a wedding in this church also so I had to move fast.
These next ones are of the Church of St. Martin, Martyr.
This didn't quite look like St. Cecilia because I didn't see a neck wound.
Mary in heaven with the angels is a very popular theme.
I wish this one were clearer for it was someone being martyred.
Beautiful arches and angels.
This is Ss. Peter & Paul but I had to move fast because of the wedding.
Because my Italian is non-existent I don't know if this church is the Basilica of the Twelve Apostles of just the Basilica of Ss. Philip & James. I do know that they claim to have the bodies of these two apostles in the basement.
This bright spot in the sanctuary is shown in closer detail below.
Above are images of two evangelists.
One of the Apostles is being prepared for crucifixion.
St. Rita receiving the stigmata of a thorn in her forehead so she could take on some of Christ's suffering.
The other two evangelists.
Now this image is the front of the North American College Chapel, Mary, Queen of Heaven.
These two images are on each side of the sanctuary in the seminary chapel
