Talk:Santi Sergio e Bacco
Rewrite
[edit]I have thoroughly rewritten and expanded this article, which was mostly unsourced and seemingly contained inaccuracies, such as the following:
- “dedicated to the 4th century Roman martyrs” They were said to have been martyred in Syria.
- Distinction must be made between the four churches and monasteries of Sergius and Bacchus in Rome mentioned in the Liber Pontificalis by the ninth century.
- “was once also a titular church...” It is a successor of the titular church in the Roman Forum, renovated after that of Sergius and Bacchus was suppressed as a cardinal deanery in the 16th century.
- “The Liber Pontificalis states that Pope Paschal I (817-–824) founded an oratory and a monastery dedicated to Sts Sergius and Bacchus here.” It states (100.22) that Paschal founded this monastery at St. John Lateran.
- “It was rebuilt in 1563 on orders from Pope Paul III.” This is vague: Paul III was pope 1534-1549.
- “The arms of the Barberini and the Basiliani families appear on the middle level.” They are the arms of Pope Leo XIII and the religious Order of St. Basil.
- “The ceiling has a 16th century fresco by Sebastiano Ceccaroni, depicting The Assumption.” Rather, 18th century by Ceccarini.
- “It was rebuilt again by Francesco Ferrari in the 18th century.” This is vague: Ferrari died in 1708. Emporostheoros (talk) 15:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit]I can't remember the time when the no. 6 citation actually linked to an active page? Anyone knows the updated and current info for that citation (Università Roma Tre page)? Thanks! Anchorite (talk) 15:35, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Ferrari
[edit]The correct Francesco Ferrari that worked on the church was an architect of the first half of the XVIII century, not the painter Ferrari that died in 1708. Here is the Treccani's article on the correct Ferrari: http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/francesco-ferrari_res-0ba71439-87ed-11dc-8e9d-0016357eee51_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ This is as a response to Emporostheoros (talk) Anchorite (talk) 01:30, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
