Lonely Planet review for Chiesa di San Paolo Dentro le Mura
With its stripy neo-Gothic exterior and prominent position, Rome’s American Episcopal church is something of a landmark. Inside, the unusual 19th-century mosaics, designed by the Birmingham-born Edward Burne-Jones, feature the faces of his famous contemporaries. In his representation of The Church on Earth, St Ambrose (on the extreme right of the centre group) has JP Morgan’s face, and General Garibaldi and Abraham Lincoln (wearing a green tunic) are among the warriors. In the small garden outside there are a number of modern sculptures.
