The Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina is located in via della Conciliazione, in the Borgo district, a few steps from the Vatican. It was rebuilt in 1566 based on a design by Giovanni Sallustio Peruzzi, with contributions by Ottaviano Mascherino and Francesco Peparelli, in place of an older one, demolished in 1564 by Pope Pius IV because it was an obstacle to the trajectories of Castel Sant'Angelo bombards.The church probably occupies the place where an ancient Roman tomb in the shape of a pyramid stood, which in the Middle Ages was believed to have been the tomb of Romulus.The large façade has two orders of pilasters, which divide it into five bays in which three portals and two niches open up; the three upper bays, on the other hand, have two blind windows and lateral connections. Above the main portal with marble columns, there is a niche in which the group of the Madonna and Child in stucco is placed, from the 18th century. The interior, in the form of a Latin cross, has a single nave, five chapels on each side and a magnificent dome - the work of Mascherino - without a drum, so wanted by the bombers of Castel Sant'Angelo so as not to hinder the firing of the bombards placed on the castle ramparts. The same artillerymen of the Castle had in this church, in the Chapel of Santa Barbara, their place of prayer. Among the works of art inside, the magnificent Baroque altar by Carlo Fontana from 1674 is worthy of note, which houses an icon with the image of the Byzantine Madonna. This icon, according to an ancient tradition, was brought by the Carmelite fathers to Europe at the time of their migration from Mount Carmel, in the first half of the XIII century. The current image is a late copy of the original, which was lost during the period of the Roman Republic...

One of the most important testimonies for the Christian tradition can be found in the third chapel on the left, Flagelation of Saints Peter and Paul and stories of the two saints by Ricci; Crucifix, 14th century goldsmith's work; on the altar milks, two stalks of columns to which, according to tradition, the two saints would have been tied. In the baptistery Pietá in earthenware of the fifteenth century and wooden angels of the school of Ercole Ferrata. At the main altar based on a design by Carlo Fontana (1674), with a crown canopy illusionistically supported by stucco angels by Leonardo Retti - Icon of the Virgin brought from the Holy Land to Rome perhaps in 1216 by the Carmelites.

L'un des témoignages les plus importants de la tradition chrétienne se trouve dans la troisième chapelle à gauche, la Flagellation des Saints Pierre et Paul et les histoires des deux saints de Ricci; Crucifix, travail d'orfèvre du XIVe siècle; sur l'autel traire deux tiges de colonnes auxquelles, selon la tradition, les deux saints auraient été attachés. Dans le baptistère Pietá en terre cuite du XVe siècle et les anges en bois de l'école d'Ercole Ferrata. Sur le maître-autel basé sur un dessin de Carlo Fontana (1674), avec un auvent couronné illusionniquement par des anges en stuc par Leonardo Retti - Icône de la Vierge amenée de Terre Sainte à Rome, peut-être en 1216...

La Chiesa di Santa Maria in Traspontina, situata nel rione Borgo di Roma, è uno degli edifici religiosi più interessanti nei pressi del Vaticano. Pur meno celebre rispetto ad altre chiese monumentali della città, ha una storia ricca e una bellezza architettonica e artistica che la rendono una tappa meritevole di attenzione.

Storia

La chiesa attuale risale al XVI secolo, ma il suo nome e la sua posizione hanno origini più antiche. Il termine "Traspontina" deriva dal fatto che si trova "oltre il ponte" rispetto al centro storico, in riferimento al Ponte Sant'Angelo. Una chiesa più antica, dedicata a Maria, esisteva già nel luogo, ma fu demolita durante la costruzione di Castel Sant'Angelo e delle Mura Leonine.

La nuova chiesa fu ricostruita tra il 1566 e il 1637, su progetto di Giovanni Sallustio Peruzzi, figlio del famoso architetto Baldassarre Peruzzi. La costruzione fu affidata all'Ordine dei Carmelitani, che tuttora amministrano il luogo.

Architettura

La chiesa è un esempio di architettura barocca, con elementi rinascimentali:

Facciata: La facciata, completata nel 1637, è semplice e armoniosa, caratterizzata da due ordini sovrapposti e un timpano triangolare.

Interno: La pianta è a croce latina con una navata unica. L'interno è riccamente decorato con affreschi, stucchi e cappelle laterali, ognuna delle quali ospita opere d'arte di notevole pregio.

Opere d'arte principali

Altare Maggiore: L'altare è ornato da una copia della venerata icona mariana che dà il nome alla chiesa.

Cappella di Santa Barbara: Questa cappella è particolarmente interessante per la sua dedicazione a Santa Barbara, patrona dell'artiglieria, un richiamo alla vicinanza con Castel Sant'Angelo, storicamente sede di armamenti.

Affreschi di Carlo Maratta: L’artista barocco ha contribuito con dipinti che esaltano la bellezza e la spiritualità della chiesa.

Curiosità

Castel Sant'Angelo e la chiesa: La posizione di Santa Maria in Traspontina è strettamente legata alla storia militare di Roma. Durante la sua costruzione, la cupola fu abbassata per evitare che potesse servire come punto di mira in caso di attacchi a Castel Sant'Angelo.

Le Processioni della Settimana Santa: La chiesa è spesso coinvolta nelle celebrazioni religiose legate al Vaticano, grazie alla sua posizione strategica a pochi passi da Piazza San Pietro.

Reliquie: La chiesa conserva alcune reliquie di martiri cristiani, custodite nelle cappelle laterali.

Posizione e visita

Santa Maria in Traspontina si trova in Via della Conciliazione, rendendola una tappa facilmente raggiungibile per chi visita il Vaticano. È un luogo ideale per una pausa di raccoglimento lontano dalle folle, offrendo un ambiente sereno e ricco di spiritualità.

Visitare questa chiesa significa scoprire un lato meno noto di Roma, ma altrettanto ricco di storia, arte e fede.

The Parrocchia Santuario di Santa Maria in Traspontina, located along Via della Conciliazione, is an exquisite church blending history and faith near St. Peter’s Basilica. Its striking Baroque façade, completed in the late 16th century, invites visitors to explore its serene interior. Inside, the church features beautiful frescoes and ornate chapels, with particular attention to its altars dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The site has a fascinating history; it was moved from its original location to make way for the construction of Castel Sant’Angelo. Despite this, it has retained its spiritual significance, serving as a sanctuary for pilgrims. The peaceful atmosphere contrasts with the bustling Vatican surroundings, offering a quiet place for reflection. For tourists, the church’s beauty, symbolism, and proximity to major landmarks make it a must-visit gem in Rome.
