Baroque church in the Quartieri Spagnoli founded in 1587 by the coachmen, with Girolamo Cenatiempo's Saint Matthew and the Angel.

On vico lungo San Matteo, in the Quartieri Spagnoli, this church was founded in 1587 by the coachmen's guild and dedicated to Saint Francis. After passing briefly to the Franciscans, it was bought by the people of the district, who with the confraternity of Saint Matthew transformed it in the Baroque style.Damaged by bombing in the Second World War, it is open today. Inside, with a single nave and side chapels, the most important work is Saint Matthew and the Angel by Girolamo Cenatiempo.
