The entrance to the extraordinary church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, better known as San Carlino, is surmounted by a statue of San Carlo Borromeo, the work of the sculptor Antonio Raggi (1624-86).
The saint stands in a niche, which is flanked by two angels, whose interlocking raised wings create an extra arch. Comments are closed.
