Help with San Gregorio Magno inscription

Posted by: StephanieB on Jul 4, 07 at 05:47 PM Posted in: Europe Jump to last reply

Can anyone tell me what the inscription is (if that's the right word) on the facade of the San Gregorio Magno in Rome--letter for letter--and what it means?

My photo (and photos online) are hard to make out in spots, and I can't find anything online that talks about the inscription. It's something like this: "DEISGSABIN CARDBVRGHESIVSMPOENITES ADM DCXXXIII"

As far as the "CARD BVRGHESI" part, here is what I have pieced together: Cardinal Scipione Borghese oversaw the building and decoration of the oratory chapels of St. Andrew and St. Sylvia beside San Gregorio Magno. The facade of the San Gregorio was built in 1633; Cardinal Borghese died in that year.

Can anyone tell me more?

Thanks!!!

StephanieB
