Santa Silvia Oratory
The oratory on the right was named for the mother of Gregorio Magno, probably buried here. The frescoes of the Emilia-school (Reggio-Emilia/Bologna) style of the 1600s depict a Concert of Angels by Guido Reni; David and Isaiah by Sisto Badalocchio. The San Damiano is a work from the 1700s by Francesco Mancini.  The statue of Santa Silvia was sculpted between 1603 and 1604 circa by the frenchman Nicolas Cordier.
