Santa Maria della Consolazione, Catholic church in Campitelli, Rome, Italy.

The Santa Maria della Consolazione church exhibits Baroque architecture with a Mannerist facade designed by Martino Longhi the Elder in 1583.

The church traces its origins to 1385 when a nobleman paid for an icon of the Virgin Mary to comfort criminals facing execution at the Tarpeian Rock.

The interior contains numerous frescoes by Renaissance artists, including works by Taddeo Zuccari depicting Scenes of the Passion from 1556.

The church maintains regular religious services under the care of Capuchin Franciscan friars at the base of the Palatine Hill.

A 13th-century icon of the Virgin Mary resides in the chapel right of the presbytery, while the altar features a 14th-century Madonna della Consolazione.
