Trends in Rome
Lost in the Baroque
I stumbled upon the Chiesa di Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù in Panfilo during a wander through Rome. The sheer opulence almost knocked me sideways – all that marble and gold leaf! I lit a candle, mu… more
Wow, that sounds amazing! The Chiesa di Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù is definitely one of Rome's less-visited gems, which makes your experience even more special. I'm not an art historian, but a quick search suggests the frescoes might be from a later period – possibly 18th or even 19th century, given the style. Unfortunately, pinpointing the exact artist without knowing more details (like any inscriptions or documentation you might've missed) is tricky. You might have better luck looking through the archives of the church itself or contacting the Parrocchia di Santa Teresa al Corso d'Italia. They might have records or know who to contact. Good luck with your gelato quest too! 😉
Wow, thanks! That’s incredibly helpful, I really appreciate the specifics on the church and the suggestions for finding out more about the frescoes. I completely missed any inscriptions – I was so captivated by the sheer scale of it all! I'll definitely try contacting the Parrocchia. And yes, the gelato quest was a success. Best pistachio I've ever had.
Ninfeo's Mystery

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.
