San Giovanni della Pigna

The San Giovanni della Pigna is a little known church located in Piazza Della Pigna. The Piazza is small, and suits the church quite well. Inside of the church there are only nine rows of benches, that can probably only hold about 4 people each. While small, the church does have some features that seem quite expensive, such as marble flooring, and a grand chandelier that looks to be made of crystal. The roof is done with gold and white coloring, while the walls are lined with different paintings of holy figures. The church has a very solemn feeling, and there was not a tourist there during my entire fifteen minute stay. My favorite feature of the church was the art behind the altar, which is a painting that blends with a sculpture above it.
