Angeli

As a native Angelino, I felt that I ought to have a special connection with Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri.
The place is almost unrelentingly ornate.  
  I found this stained glass cupola of the night sky particularly beautiful.
In the trancept, I found an epic crèche (which looked more like the posed picture on a Playmobil box.)  The fountain across the street.
From the outside, you can see how the church was incorporated into the ruins of the Baths of Diocletian.
