Exterior view
by DUCA, Giacomo del, Photo
From c. 1573 Giacomo del Duca remodeled Santa Maria in Trivio, Rome, a small, aisleless, rectangular church on an extremely restricted site. The fa�ade (1575) is attractive and well-proportioned, although some of the Mannerist details are over contrived and awkward. The small entrance portal is particularly complex, with a curved, broken pediment inserted in a triangular one. The doors are flanked by curious narrow modillions.
