Sant'Andrea dei Vascellari

Sant'Andrea dei Vascellari, Baroque church in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.

Sant'Andrea dei Vascellari stands at the corner of Via dei Vascellari and Via dei Salumi. Its facade has a triangular pediment and a Renaissance portal with a marble frame; above are two rectangular windows. The single nave has a wooden beam ceiling, and the wooden choir loft on two Tuscan columns remains. Deconsecrated in 1942, it became the Sant'Andrea de Scaphis gallery in 2015.

Consecrated in 821 under Pope Paschal I, the church was a parish until 1574, when Gregory XIII suppressed it and assigned it to the guild of pork butchers, who restored it. In 1590 it passed to the Confraternity of the Most Holy Sacrament, which renovated it and gave it its present facade. The potters' guild took over in the 18th century; the building was deconsecrated in 1941 and became a gallery in 2015.

The building once served as a gathering place for potters and artisans of the neighborhood until 1801, when their guild dissolved. This connection to local craftsmanship remains part of the place's identity.

The former oratory stands at the corner of Via dei Vascellari and Via dei Salumi, with its main front on Via dei Vascellari. The entrance sits between two columns with Doric capitals; inside, two Corinthian columns mark where the altar once stood. As a private gallery, it opens only for exhibitions, so confirm access before setting out.

The church's medieval names — de scafis, delli scaphi, delle scaphe — refer to the small boats that moored on the Tiber nearby, while "Vascellari" names the potters' guild that took over the building in 1666. The guild promoted the "processione dei bucaletti", a procession of terracotta jugs carrying the Madonna del Carmine used in the Festa de Noantri; it was banned by Pope Gregory XVI after it repeatedly ended in drunken brawls and killings.
