Fodor's Review:
Extravagantly baroque, this 18th-century church completely abandoned classical Renaissance straight lines in favor of flowing, twisting forms. Its interior walls resemble brocade drapery, and only touching will convince skeptics that rather than paint, the green-and-white walls are actually inlaid marble. Over the first altar on the left, the Martyrdom of St. Lawrence is a dramatic example of Titian's feeling for light and movement.
