There is an AMAZING fresco all over the whole room on the top floor above the church (where the female choir was in baroque times.) The fresco is by one of the teachers of Giotto if I remember, his name was Cavallino. It is very well preserved. I think it was closed for some rennovation in May 2023 but hope it will open again. It is from around 1300's or so. Fantastic! Imagine Capela Sistina but medieval version. Ask the nuns how to get in.

Can’t wait to go! I’m a big fan of out of the way underground Rome, like the Basilica of San Clemente
