Oratorio di Santa Silvia, Religious oratory on Celian Hill, Rome, Italy
The Oratorio di Santa Silvia features a rectangular layout with a wooden coffered ceiling and an apse containing a celestial concert fresco.
Cardinal Cesare Baronio initiated the construction in 1603, and Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli-Borghese completed the building between 1608 and 1609.
The central altar displays a marble statue of Saint Silvia, created by Nicolas Cordier, surrounded by porphyry columns with bronze capitals.
Located at Piazza di San Gregorio 2, visitors can access the oratory through its main portal adorned with a horizontal window.
The apse ceiling showcases an exceptional fresco titled Concert of Angels, painted by Guido Reni and Sisto Badalocchio between 1608 and 1609.
