Santi Bartolomeo ed Alessandro dei Bergamaschi

The church displays a baroque facade with a single order structure topped by a triangular tympanum near Palazzo Wedekind in central Rome.

Construction began in 1591 as Santa Maria della Pietà chapel for the Ospedale dei Pazzarelli, Rome's first medical facility for mental health care.

The church maintains strong connections with the Bergamo community through the Archiconfraternità dei Bergamaschi, established in Rome during 1539.

The religious building serves as an active church within Rome's diocese, offering regular masses and religious services throughout the year.

Inside the church, a painting of Seven Archangels had the names of the celestial beings removed following specific orders from Cardinal Albizzi.
