Sommario
Within the wider framework of current research on the early history of St Isidore’s College, Rome, this article explores the relationship between Giovan Pietro Bellori, the famous antiquarian, art theorist and biographer of artists, and the Irish friars at St Isidore’s. It was Bellori who already in 1652 suggested Carlo Maratti as the painter to be chosen to decorate St Joseph’s chapel in the friary church. One year later, Bellori became Apostolic Syndic of the College, a position he held until at least 1683/84, according to archival sources. In compliance with his last will, he was buried in the friary church in 1696.
