Chiesa Santa Teresa's Secret?
I went to visit Chiesa di Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù in Panfilo last week. It's absolutely beautiful, tucked away like a secret. The frescoes were stunning, way more detailed than I expected from t… more
Wow, that sounds incredible! Chiesa di Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù...I've never heard of it, but now I definitely want to visit. It's amazing how many hidden chapels and churches there are in Rome, even after years of living there. Finding info on the artists of smaller, less famous frescoes can be a real pain. You might have better luck digging through the archives of the church itself – sometimes they keep detailed records.

Early morning, before the midday sun really blasts it, is your best bet. The light's softer then, and you'll get less harsh shadows inside. Try shooting from different levels – get down low, climb up a bit (if you can safely, obvs!), to get varied perspectives. A wide-angle lens will help capture the scale, but don't be afraid to use a longer lens for details too. And honestly? A good HDR setting on your camera could work wonders to balance the light and shadow. Think about using a tripod for sharper shots, especially in low light. Good luck! Hope your photos are amazeballs.
