Santa Maria del Suffragio, Baroque church in Viterbo, Italy
The Santa Maria del Suffragio presents a two-level facade with peperino stone trabeation and an octagonal raised presbytery accessible by three steps.
Originally dedicated to San Quirico in the 12th century, the church received its current name in 1618 when Cardinal Bishop Tiberio Muti assigned it to a new confraternity.
The confraternity members wore white robes with black mozzettas while praying and collecting funds for masses dedicated to souls in Purgatory.
The church interior contains four marble altars in addition to the high altar, featuring numerous artworks from the 18th century including a rare painting by Luigi Vanvitelli.
The church ceiling displays a painted jute canvas with God the Father accompanied by Christ and the Virgin, while the walls show carved heads representing tortured souls.
