Oratorio del Gonfalone, Rome
Oratorio del Gonfalone

The Oratorio del Gonfalone was built in the middle of the 16th century as the headquarters of the Arciconfraternità del Gonfalone. Gonfalone (banner) refers to the banners or flags, which the members of the Arch confraternity carried in religious processions and celebrations. 

The simple rectangular hall of the oratory is decorated with frescoes (1569-76), which illustrate scenes from the Passion of Christ, the work of many artists, including Federico Zuccari.

The oratory is now used as a venue for concerts given by the Coro Polifonico Romano.
