The church of the Girolamini complex (followers of St. Jerome) was constructed between the late 16th and early 17th centuries by the architect Giovanni Antonio Tosio. Dionisio Lazzari completed the façade and the 17th Century interior has three aisles and works by the artists of the Tuscan-Roman school. Included are masterpieces like the Dying Sant’Alessandro by Pietro da Cortona. The statues in the transept are by Pietro Bernini and the paintings of Saint Francis and Saint John the Baptist are by Guido Reni. Among other artists who decorated the church were Luca Giordano, Francesco Solimena, and Paolo De Matteis.
