Notes
Comparison with C.H.Tatham's measured drawings made in 1796 and labelled 'S Andrea della Vale' (RIBA Drawings Collection SC110/11(2) and (6)), show that Soane's unlabelled drawings are for the same building.
Sant' Andrea della Valle, sited in the Piazza Vidoni, was built from 1591 to 1663. It has a Latin-cross plan, four side chapels, half-domed sanctuary and domed crossing. See the following catalogue entry for further roof trusses for the same church.
