В этой небольшой церкви хранится шедевр живописи: «Семь деяний милосердия».Эту картину Караваджо написал всего за 5 месяцев.Картина никогда не покидала своего места,несмотря перипетии истории.Свет и тень,которыми успешно управлял Караваджо создаю иллюзии реальности картины,а также несут смысл:Милосердие приносит свет для души.На картине видна справа и известная сцена,когда дочь накормила своего отца грудным молоком(Римское милосердие).Церковь маленькая,но красивая.Вход платный,10€.Для многих категорий вход бесплатный.

Un lugar de gran valor artístico y espiritual, conocido principalmente por albergar una de las obras maestras de Caravaggio: Las Siete Obras de Misericordia. Esta pintura, cargada de dramatismo y simbolismo, es razón suficiente para visitar el sitio. El edificio en sí es elegante y tranquilo, con una atmósfera que invita a la reflexión. Además de la obra de Caravaggio, el complejo incluye una pequeña galería con otras piezas interesantes y una iglesia con una arquitectura sobria pero armoniosa. No le doy cinco estrellas porque la visita es relativamente breve y puede pasar desapercibida frente a otros grandes museos de la ciudad. Sin embargo, para quienes aprecian el arte barroco y buscan una experiencia más íntima, es una joya escondida que merece ser descubierta.

Il Caravaggio spettacolare, ma anche gli altri dipinti sono belli. Però l'ambiente è poco curato, c'è molta polvere. Anche di sopra
