Title A name given to the resource Santa Maria in Cappella and Its Neighborhood Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ruyi Shen (2017) Edited by Tim Abbott (2026) Description An account of the resource This is a typical parish church in the densest settlement in between the river and Via della Lungaretta. It is in a prevailing style with an arcaded narthex extending along the façade, a campanile rises within it. The period of eleventh and twelfth centuries witnessed active development centering the city ports, including Ripa Grande, which facilitated merchandise activities around. The adjacency to Ripa Grande would likely make the area close to the church a complex and integrative urban experience within the merchants community. Therefore combined with the function of the church itself, Santa Maria in Cappella could well represent a heterogeneity of the public and private spaces. As you stand in front of the church today, you would wonder how time has shifted commerce away from the river side, modified the local topography and replaced the busy streets with quiet residential houses. In the nineteenth century, as high walls were built along Tiber for flood prevention floods and development of the railroad, the Ripa Grande lost its role in trade and the landscape was altered. However, the church remains as a witness to this transformation of the neighborhood. Abstract A summary of the resource.
