Capuchin church on Via Veneto built between 1626 and 1631 on the commission of Cardinal Antonio Barberini. It holds Guido Reni's St Michael the Archangel. Beneath the church, the Capuchin museum and crypt display the remains of thousands of friars arranged as decoration in several chapels, a very singular example of Baroque memento mori.
