1941 Tullio Rossi (1903/97)
“Tullio
Rossi, who began his work in the study of Clemente Busiri Vici, was busy with
renovations and interior design, designed villas, palaces and signed projects
of more than forty churches, all in the City of Rome, largely characterized by
simple architecture, but with originality of expression and classical ideas:
facades with slanted sides, splayed portals, and interiors with trussed roofs
and aisles lit by large windows. In 1946, in Florence, he rebuilt the area
around Ponte Vecchio and designed, along with American architects, the American
Military Cemetery” (Antonio Rossilli)
It took the
name of the previous small church, which still stands a few meters further out
from Rome (Via Cassia 735), built in the years 1690/95 for Cardinal Antonio
Maria Pignatelli who became pope under the name of Innocent XII Pignatelli
(1691/1700)
The
original church of S. Andrew the Apostle then assumed the name of CHAPEL OF THE
INSTITUTE MOST HOLY VIRGIN OF THE URSULINE SISTERS OF GANDINO
The
area, which now takes its name from the so-called Tomb of Nero, was part of the
villa of the Pignatelli family
