===Sanctuary=== The large and impressive main altar, with four Corinthian columns in black and white veined marble supporting a triangular pediment, is by Carlo Maderno. The columns were allegedly plundered from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Augustus Tomb of Augustus]. The altarpiece of the ''Trinity'' is by [http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/francesco-grandi_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ Francesco Grandi], c1860, and is lit by a pair of side windows. It depicts the Father and the Holy Spirit accompanied by angels; the Son is in the tabernacle below. This work replaced a lost painting by Giovan Battista Ricci featuring the same subject. The frescoes on the apse wall flanking the altar are by [http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/francesco-nappi_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ Francesco Nappi] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespasiano_Strada Vespasiano Strada], and date from the church's original construction. Nappi did the Evangelists to the top left, and Strada those to the top right. The panels flanking the altar show ''The Manna in the Desert ''to the left, and ''Abraham and Melchizedek ''to the right, but these have been heavily restored. Also, an epitaph and coat-of-arms in bronze of Cardinal Salviati have been stuck over them in a very crude way. The chapels are described in anticlockwise order, beginning with the right hand side at the entrance.
