DOME ILLUSION | The Magic of Illusion-Sant'Ignazio's Ceiling in Rome

Don’t want the usual tourist trip to Rome? See the other side of the Eternal City with the Dome Illusion of Sant'Ignazio Church in Rome and get to understand the Romans more on the "untouristic" side.

By the beginning of the 17th century, the Roman Collage had grown to over 2,000 students and the old church became insufficient for holding mass. Pope Gregory XV, who was an old pupil of the college, suggested to his nephew, Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi, that a new church dedicated to the founder of the Jesuits should be erected at the college itself. The young cardinal accepted the idea, and in 1626, four years after the canonization of Ignatius of Loyola, the foundation stone was laid. The old church was demolished to make way for the new Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, which took up a quarter of the entire block when it was completed in 1650.

When the Church of St. Ignatius was consecrated, it had bare ceilings. Originally, a dome was planned, but dispute with the original donors, the Ludovisi, had prevented the completion of the planned dome.

In 1679, the painter and architect Andrea Pozzo proposed to create a fake dome inside the Church that would fool the eyes of visitors.
