@livevirtualguide: Want to discover more Rome gems with us? Join our walking tours at the LINK IN BIO! 😊🙌 This is the church of Sant’ Ignazio di Loyola, a Jesuit church inaugurated in 1626, only a few steps away from the Pantheon When you enter and look up to the ceiling, you feel disoriented.. is that ceiling open? Which cornice is real and which one is painted? Is the dome a real dome? Andrea Pozzo, who painted the ceiling, would be so proud of your confusion. He put together very sophisticated mathematical calculations in order to fool the human eye. And he’s been fooling visitors’ eyes since 400 years.. This fresco depicts the glory of St Ignazio, who was the founder of the Jesuit order The fresco depicts how the light from Christ goes to St Ignatius, which then reaches all the four continents of the planet (known at the time): Europa, Africa, America and Asia There are two more optical illusions in this church, that we share during our “Historic Center: behind the scenes tour” 😉 #rome #rometours #rometourguide #romethingstodo  #hiddengems
