Sant'Andrea delle Fratte

Sant'Andrea delle Fratte Review

On either side of the choir in this floridly baroque church are the two original angels that Bernini himself carved for the Ponte Sant'Angelo, where copies now stand. The door in the right aisle leads into one of Rome's hidden gardens, where orange trees bloom in the cloister. Borromini's fantastic contributions—the dome and a curious bell tower with its droop-winged angels looking out over the city—are best seen from Via Capo le Case, across Via Due Macelli, where there is also a fine and reasonably priced caffè.
