San Bartolomeo dei Vaccinari, Church building in Regola district, Rome, Italy.
San Bartolomeo dei Vaccinari was a church in Rome featuring a single nave with two lateral altars on each side. Paintings by Giovanni De Vecchi adorned the interior walls and demonstrated the artistic decoration.
The church began as Santo Stefano de cacabariis and first appeared in a 1186 document by Pope Urban III as a subsidiary of San Lorenzo in Damaso. Leather workers received the building from Pope Pius V in 1570 and rebuilt it in 1723.
The leather workers' guild, called vaccinari, gathered in this church as the center of their craft community. The space held deep meaning for those who made their living working with animal hides.
The former location of the church was at what is now Via di San Bartolomeo dei Vaccinari and is no longer accessible. The building was completely demolished in 1885 during construction of Via Arenula.
During excavation work, laborers discovered numerous animal horns buried beneath the foundation. These horns revealed the long tradition of leather processing and tanning in this part of Rome.
