The church was built in 1626 on the ancient Church of the Annunziata
and it's very famous for hits wonderful paintings .
The spaces are transformed so that the painted decoration gives the impression of the absence of the ceiling of the aisle and the architectural structures of the walls may be long over the wall, in the open sky. In this "open space" you can admire the "Glory of St. Ignatius", where the saint at the center of the scene receives a mystical light from God the Father through Christ.
To better appreciate the fresco must be observed carefully the geometry of the marbles on the floor, standing right in the middle of the nave, where they form a circle in the marble.
Referring again to the central area of the floor and continuing just forward to the altar, we find a second reference point in the marble, that also in this case indicates something to pay attention. At first glance, looking up is not seen nothing unusual: there are columns, the ceiling and the huge dome; But, moving a few steps to the right or left of the observation point, the dome seems to "bend", revealing that it is ... designed and painted on a canvas than 17 meters in diameter! Another work of Andrea Pozzo, of which only the perspective view from a precise point makes "real" observer the dome, or only to positions on the aforementioned marble disc dome seems real, while, moving elsewhere, it assumes a dimension "impossible", revealing the pretense (false dome)!
In the building are preserved the bodies of several saints of the Society of Jesus.
