| The church Santa Maria in Domnica or Santa Maria alla Navicella, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Caelium Hill in Rome, Italy. The appellation `alla Navicella` denotes `near the little ship`, and refers to the sculpture of a Roman ship that has been in this location since ancient times, possibly as a votive offering to an ancient temple, and which Pope Leo X turned into a fountain Fontana della Navicella in front of the church. |
