Focus on Noli Me Tangere (Bernini) and explain the Patronage.
The chapel was commissioned by Sister Maria Eleonora Alaleona. It is suspected that it was commissioned as an act of penitence for the behaviour of an unnamed relative of hers in 1636 - a nun who had tried to smuggle a lover into her convent only for the lover to suffocate to death in the chest he was hiding in. The donation made was 3,000 Roman scudi (around US$120,000 in contemporary costs.)
