Las capillas laterales de la Tribuna de la Iglesia del Gesù en Roma - The side chapels of the tribune of the Gesù Church in Rome

As part of a documentation and survey campaign that identifi ed a series of Late-Renaissance chapels located inside some churches in the historic centre of Rome as the subject of investigation, we illustrate, in particular, some results of the investigations conducted on the two chapels arranged on the sides of the presbytery of the Church of Santissimo Nome di Gesù. Starting from an integrated survey of shape and size, the aim was both to investigate the formal configuration underlying the layout of the chapels by tracing their generating criteria, and to restore their perceptive qualities (visual appearance), thus trying to highlight the relationship between the architecture and the decorative-pictorial system as well as to identify the presence of any specific elements.
