St. PHILIP NERI

S. FILIPPO NERI
First half of the seventeenth century
Commonly known as S. FILIPPINO
Completely renovated in 1728 maybe by Filippo Raguzzini (1680/1771) for Benedict XIII Orsini (1724/30)

FAƇADE
1767/68 by the Roman Giovanni Francesco Fiori (1709/84)
Restoration in 1853 after a disastrous flood of the River Tiber
Left abandoned and in ruin since 1940
The door is now walled to prevent homeless people to use the building as a temporary home as they used to do in the past
