Oratorio di Santa Barbara, Ancient oratory in Celio district, Rome, Italy.
The rectangular structure contains a single nave leading to an apse wall, adorned with frescoes depicting scenes from Saint Gregory's life.
Cardinal Cesare Baronio commissioned renovations between 1602 and 1603, transforming the 12th-century structure into its current architectural form.
According to tradition, Saint Silvia and Pope Gregory I distributed food to people in need at this location using a Roman marble slab.
The oratory stands at Piazza di San Gregorio 2 in Rome, with telephone number 06 70494966 for visitor information and scheduling.
Nicolas Cordier created the statue of Saint Gregory using marble acquired from Michelangelo's nephew, placing it in the apse during 1602.
