Santo Stefano del Cacco, Catholic church in Pigna district, Rome, Italy
The church presents three naves with twelve ancient columns of grey marble, cipollino and grey granite supporting the central arcade structure.
The church foundation dates to the ninth century under Pope Paschal I, with a Romanesque bell tower added during the twelfth century.
The interior holds a significant fresco of the Pietà by Perin del Vaga and the Martyrdom of Saint Stephen by Cristoforo Casolani in the apse.
The church maintains regular opening hours and stands at Via di Santo Stefano del Cacco 26, managed by the Sylvestrine Benedictine order.
The name 'Cacco' derives from a misinterpreted Egyptian statue of Thoth with a dog head, which Romans mistook for a monkey.
