The small Oratorio di San Giovanni Decollato (Oratory of St John the Beheaded), one of Rome's many hidden secrets, is decorated with a series of frescoes (1538-41) depicting scenes from the life of St John the Baptist. The frescoes are mostly the work of two Florentine artists: Jacopino del Conte (1510-98), who also painted the altarpiece of the Deposition of Christ, and Francesco Salviati (1510-63).
