Farther on, to the right, is the church of San Salvatore in
Launo (Pl. II, 12, mentioned as early as the 13th cent., but rebuilt
in 1450, 1591, and 1862.
The graceful cloisters, with their double arcades, date from the early
Renaissance period. The old refectory (fee) contains the monument of
Pope Eugenius IV. (d. 1447), brought hither from old St. Peter's. This
work, by Isaia di Pisa, is the earliest example of a mural monument
constructed throughout of purely Renaissance elements: on the sarco-
phagus is a recumbent figure of the deceased, with a Madonna and two
angels above, and statues of saints on the pilasters of the surrounding
niches. The Renaissance tomb of Maddalena Orsini ( 15th cent.) is
lso shown.
At No. 124: Via de' Coronari (to the left) is the so-called Casa
di Raffaele, the rent of which was devised by Raphael in his will
for the maintenance of his tomb in the Pantheon (p. 248). The
house in which Raphael lived and died was situated in the Borgo
(p. 360).
Side-streets at the end of the Via de' Coronari lead to the right
to the Ponte Sant' Angelo (p. 356) and to the left to the W. end
of the Corso Vittorio Emanuele (p. 255).

Santa Maria della Pace, see pp. 253, 254; Piazza Navona,
see p. 252.
d. From the Piazza Colonna, past the Pantheon to the
Piazza Navona (Circo Agonale) and thence to the Ponte
Sant' Angelo.
Piazza Colonna, see p. 229. The side-streets to the right and
left of the colonnade on the W. side of the piazza lead to the Piazza
di Monte Citorio (Pl. II, 18). The rising on the N. side of this
piazza, where the Camera de' Deputati now stands, is entirely due
to buried ruins, mainly those of the Ustrinum, or construction used
for the solemn cremation of the bodies of the emperors at their
apotheosis.
The spacious Camera de' Deputati (Pl. II, 18), begun for
the Ludovisi family by Bernini ( 1650), was finished under Inno-
cent XII. by C. Fontana for the papal tribunal and has been used
since 1871 for the Italian parliament. Since 1905 it has been in
process of reconstruction on Ernesto Basile's plans; Bernini's
façade is to be left unaltered but the entire rear portion is being
remodelled and enlarged, while a new façade is to be built' on the
N. The sittings of parliament (usually in the afternoon) take place
at present in a hall on the side next the Via della Missione.
The Obelisk which has occupied the centre of the piazza since
1789 was, like that in the Piazza del Popolo (p. 178), brought to
Rome by Augustus. In antiquity it stood near the site of the pre-
sent church of San Lorenzo in Lucina (p. 228), and was used as the
