Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola





One of my stops was at the Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola (Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola). I had never been in this church. It has many side altars as well as the main alter.
"Andrea Pozzo, a Jesuit lay brother, painted the grandiose fresco that stretches across the nave ceiling (after 1685). It celebrates the work of Saint Ignatius and the Society of Jesus in the world presenting the saint welcomed into paradise by Christ and the Virgin Mary and surrounded by allegorical representations of all four continents." from Wikipedia


As in any big city there are homeless people. It seems that all effort is made to keep them away from the center of the city. But one person found a place to rest at the side doors of the church. - Nancy
