Церковь Санта Мария делл Анима
Church of Santa Maria dell'Anima, or Virgin of the Souls
происхождение названия:
The church was named after the sculptural group Madonna and Two Souls, which has recently been attributed to Andrea Sansovino.
история:
Church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin as patroness of the souls of the departed in purgatory.
The church was founded by a Dutch couple after the Holy Year of 1350.
It was built as a German national church, which included all of the German-speaking states of the Holy Roman Empire.
A chapel belonging to a hospice for pilgrims from Germany and the Low Countries stood on the site before it was built.

By the entrance are the tombs of Cardinal Andreas of Austria on the left side and Willem Cardinal van Enchenvoirt (died 1534) on the right side.

Cardinal Van Enchenvoirt was Baldassare Peruzzi's patron, and commissioned the tomb of Pope Adrian VI, the Chapel of St Barbara and the high altar.

There are tombs on either side of the sanctuary. Pope Adrian VI (1522...23), who was born in Utrecht, is buried on the left side, in a tomb by either Baldassare Peruzzi or Michelangelo Senese, commissioned by Cardinal can Enchenvoirt.

оформление:
The church was rebuilt for the Holy Year of 1500 by Pope Alexander VI (1492 - 1503).
The architect may have been Andrea Sansovino.
It was restored in 1843.
The church has a minaret-like spire covered in coloured tiles, reminiscent of the patterned slate roof of German-speaking areas.
The facade is often, but probably erroneousely, attributed to Giuliano da Sangallo.
Recently, scholars have attributed the three doors to Sansovino, while earlier studies have attributed them to Peruzzi.
The windows may be the work of Bramante.

The church is built as a Hallenkirche, a type common in northern Europe. A hall church is built to be as wide as possible, with a lofty roof held by rows of columns. Churches of this type often doubled as municipal assemblies. Each side has four apses with chapels, which is unusual for a hall church.
