Here, within a series of false perspectives, we see the statue of the church&#8217;s name saint. Although the sculpture was executed by Ercole Ferretti, the form and expression are based on drawings by Bernini.<\/p>\n<p>The splendid stuccos decorating the chapel are by Paolo Landini. Landini participated in the interior works from 1662 to 1664, together with Giovanni Battista Ferrabosco and Giovanni Francesco Rosi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-align: left;\">The chapel walls are enriched with two pairs of oval medallions in alabaster, showing relief busts against black backgrounds: these are probably portraits of popes or saints with a particular affection for Saint Agnes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><a href=\"chapel-of-saint-filippo-neri\/\">\u2192<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the revisions to the plans for the church following the death of Pope Innocent X, the decision was made to dedicate a chapel to Saint Agnes, rather [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":752,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1882","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1882"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2212,"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1882\/revisions\/2212"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.santagneseinagone.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
