Santa Maria del Populo

On the northern side of the Piazza de Populo is the church of St. Mary del Populo, one of Bernini's architectural creations, where many of the era's elite Romans were buried, and also home to two more very famous Caravaggios.

The dome

(Annibale) Caracci's Assumption (we like

the Caracci bros)

The church has two Caravaggios, facing each

other in a closed chapel, maybe 12 feet apart;
hardly viewable, and no pix, too (this and others

snagged off of Wikipedia); this is his crucifixion
of St. Peter; again demonstrating Caravaggio's
fondness for butt-shots

And this his "conversion on the road to

Damascus"; a horse butt-shot; I rest my case
