Santa Maria sopra Minerva: Capella Aldobrandini
Il Trionfo della Croce ("The Triumph of the Cross") by Cherubino Alberti adorns the top of the chapel. Alberti painted the fresco from 1605 to 1611. Clemente VIII -- a member of the Aldobrandini family -- commissioned a total re-doing of the Aldobrandini Chapel after he was elected pope in 1592, charging architect Giacomo della Porta to design and oversee the project.
