Santa Maria in Trivio is a small Baroque church near the Trevi area that dates back to an early foundation and was rebuilt in the late 16th century by Jacopo del Duca; it sits quietly on a little piazza. The interior is a single nave with shallow side chapels and a barrel-vaulted ceiling that gives the space a warm, intimate feeling.
The church’s standout artwork is the rich ceiling frescoes by Antonio Gherardi (1670), which show scenes from the life of the Virgin and create a bright, dramatic overhead visual. Other notable pieces include a 14th-century Venetian wooden crucifix in the Chapel of the Crucifix, an early panel of the Virgin and Child at the high altar, and side-altarpieces by artists associated with Palma il Giovane’s studio, Luigi Scaramuccia, and Pietro Perugino’s circle—plus painted archivolts and a polychrome pietra dura altar that add to the charm.
