Santa Susanna is a church in Rome , that dates back to 280 and rebuild in 796 . The modern church is the national church of the United States . A worship place sprung around 280 on the houses of Saint Susan and his father, who were martyred when the girl refused to marry the son of emperor Diocletian . It officially became a church in 330, under Constantine I . Pope Sergius I restored it at the end of the 7th Century , but Pope Leo III rebuilt the church from the ground in 796, conserving the reliqies of the saints in the crypt. In 1603 , Carlo Maderno built the façade, a highly influential early Baroque design. The dynamic rhythm of columns and pilasters, crowding centrally, and the protrusion and increased central decoration add further complexity to the structure. Notice the interplay of relationships, none exactly symmetric on any one mirro side. The entrance and roof are surrounded by triangular pediments. The windows replaced by niches. There is an incipient playfullness with the rules of classic design, still maintaining rigor. The Cardinal Priest of the ''Titulus S. Susannae'' is Bernard Law . Among the previous Cardinal Priests, Pope Nicholas V (1446). |
