Itinerary from the Basilica of Santa Cecilia to the Church of San Francesco a Ripa

This itinerary leads from the Basilica of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere to the Church of San Francesco a Ripa. Continuing our exploration of the neighborhood to discover its treasures, we come across San Francesco a Ripa, which houses an absolute masterpiece: the Ecstasy of Blessed Ludovica Albertoni. Gian Lorenzo Bernini's last work (1674), the white marble sculpture, located in the Altieri Chapel, captures with dramatic intensity the moment of the Blessed's passing and mystical union with God.
