Santa Maria in Monterone, Church building in Sant'Eustachio district, Rome, Italy.
Santa Maria in Monterone is a church building in the Sant'Eustachio district of Rome, featuring three naves separated by eight ancient Ionic columns. The interior is covered by a barrel vault topped with a triangular pediment.
Founded in 1186 by the Monteroni family from Siena, the church underwent significant changes over the centuries. It was completely reconstructed in 1682 following earlier restoration work in previous centuries.
The high altar displays an 18th-century painting of Madonna between Saint Peter Nolasco and Saint Peter Pascasio, attributed to Pompeo Batoni. This artwork is one of the religious decorations visible when entering the interior.
The building stands at Via Monterone 75 near Sant'Eustachio Church. Visitors should be aware this is an active place of worship where regular religious services are held.
The building contains burial sites and memorial stones of the Roman branch of the Gondi family, who were important supporters of the church. These burials reflect the deep connection between the family and this place.
