The church of Santa Maria di Loreto is located in the middle of the Roman old town next to the Trajan column . She is part of a twin church couple in Rome; its neighboring counterpart is Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano .
The church was built between 1522 and 1573 for the bakers' guild . The authorship of the designs is attributed to Antonio da Sangallo the Younger . The Mannerist style dome was built between 1565 and 1573 according to the plans of the architect Giacomo Del Duca (1520-1604). Its basic structure was a model for the neighboring church, but it was a building that was clearly different from it.
As a sculptor of the sculpture of the Madonna above the portal is Andrea Sansovino suspected.
Inside the church is the statue of St. Susanna, created by François Duquesnoy between 1630 and 1633, and the statue of St. Cecilia by Giuliano Finelli (1601-1653), created in 1629 or 1630.
The main altar created in 1628 Gaspare de Vecchi , Luca Carimini (1830-1890) built it around the year 1867th
Also worth seeing is a mosaic in one of the chapels , which Paolo Rossetti created in 1594. Another chapel was designed by Niccolò Circignani .
