Sant'Andrea delle Fratte

Bernini's two original angels from Ponte Sant'Angelo Of the ten angels on the bridge by Castel Sant'Angelo, Bernini carved two himself: one holding the crown of thorns and one with the INRI inscription. They were judged too precious and fragile to leave outside, so copies by his students went up on the bridge and the originals ended up here, in a church a few steps from the Spanish Steps. Seeing them indoors, at close range, you get the sharp detail the bridge copies lose to weather and distance. It is free and an easy detour between the Barcaccia and the Triton.
