The hall of the Doctors' confraternity in the Girolamini complex, with a majolica floor by Giuseppe Massa from 1757.

Inside the Girolamini complex is the confraternity of the Doctors' guild, dedicated to the Visitation of the Virgin. It is a large rectangular hall that preserves a fine majolica tile floor made by Giuseppe Massa in 1757, while the coffered ceiling was badly damaged by the 1943 bombing.On the altar stood an 18th-century copy of Federico Barocci's Visitation. We especially like the vault above the altar, with the fresco by Francesco La Marra, a pupil of Solimena, depicting Christ led to the Temple (1764). The confraternity is currently closed.
