Cappella Antamoro

---

The beautiful Cappella di San Filippo Neri, also known as the Cappella Antamoro (1708-09), in the church of San Girolamo della Carità, was designed by the Sicilian architect Filippo Juvarra (1678-1736), the only example of his work in Rome.

Statue of St Philip Neri by Pierre Legros

The sumptuous decoration of the small chapel, which is dedicated to St Philip Neri (1515-95), founder of the Oratorians, was financed by Tommaso Antamoro, as recorded in an inscription on the floor. 

​The statue of St Philip Neri (1515-95) is the work of the French sculptor Pierre Legros the Younger (1666-1719), who spent most of his working life in Rome.  ​
