Chiesa del Gesù, a Jesuit church from the late 1500s to early 1600s, emphasizes on education and spiritual exercises. The architect Vignola laid out the facade and the interconnected chapels within the church, which was later adorned by Gaulli (Baccicia) in the 1800s. The ceiling depicts the sacred name of Jesus, clouds and radiating light. Dramatic poses inspired by Michelangelo grace the figures, while the interior dome shines golden, symbolizing ascension to heaven.
