Sant'Onofrio (Rome)

Sant'Onofrio al Gianicolo is a titular church in Trastevere, Rome.

It was built in 1439 on the site of an ancient hermitage, as part of a cloistered monastery of the Hieronymites that existed here from the 15th-16th century. Behind the Renaissance portico are three lunettes by Domenichino, painted in 1605, commemorating the hermits who lived here and depicting scenes from the life of St Jerome. The church also contains "The Madonna of Loreto" by Agostino Carracci (his only work in a church in Rome) and frescoes of "Scenes from the Life of Mary" attributed to Baldassare Peruzzi.

The first chapel to the right has an "Annunciation" by Antoniazzo Romano and a "Eternal father" attributed to Baldassarre Peruzzi. The second chapel has frescoes and stuccoes (1605) by Giovan Battista Ricci with an altarpiece of the "Madonna di Loreto" by pupils of Annibale Carracci. Next to the main altar is a Monument to Giovani Sacco attributed to the school of Andrea Bregno with frescoes of "St. Anne Teaching the Virgin to Read" by a painter of the Umbrian school. The sacristy ceiling are frescoes by Girolamo Pesci, while the walls have a "Blessed Peter of Pisa" by Francesco Trevisani. The apse has frescoes of the "Stories of Mary" attributed to Baldassarre Peruzzi by Vasari. In the third chapel on the left, is a monument of the cardinale Filippo Sega with a portrait by Domenichino. In the second chapel is a "Trinity" fresco on the ceiling by Trevisani. In the first chapel to the left, is a monument to Torquato Tasso (1857) by Giuseppe Fabbris. The attached cloister was added in the mid-15th century and has frescoes with scenes from the life of the church's dedicatee. It was in this cloister that the poet Torquato Tasso died on April 25, 1595, the evening before he was to be crowned with laurels on the Capitoline Hill. The monastery houses the Museo Tassiano of manuscripts and editions of his work. Its collections also include his deathmask [http://libweb.princeton.edu/libraries/firestone/rbsc/aids/C0770/t-z.html] .
