Message from Francesco Meola

The Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone is a Baroque masterpiece that sits in the centre of Rome, in Piazza Navona. Built in the mid-17th Century by architects Girolamo Rainaldi and Carlo Rainaldi , it was subsequently modified by Francesco Borromini before the final design by renowned Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini was completed in 1668. This titular Cardinal deaconry features classic sculptures, reliefs, and frescoed cupolas, making it an iconic religious landmark in the city. Sant'Agnese in Agone has been home to some regular classical concerts, where guests can listen to sacred Baroque works, chamber music, and operas - as if they are listening to divine music echoing through the centurion hallways!
