Basso Della Rovere Chapel (Santa Maria del Popolo)
The Basso Della Rovere or Saint Augustine Chapel () is located in the south aisle of the basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. This is the third side chapel from the counterfaçade and was dedicated to St. Augustine. The cycle of beautiful quattrocento frescoes was executed by Pinturicchio and his workshop.
Santa Maria del Popolo
The factual basis of the legend is weak. Nero was indeed buried in the mausoleum of his paternal family, but Suetonius in his "Life of Nero" writes that ″the family tomb of the Domitii [was] on the summit of the Hill of Gardens, which is visible from the Campus Martius.″ The location of the mausoleum was therefore somewhere on the higher north-west slopes of the Pincian Hill and certainly not at the foot of it where the church stands.
