San Carlo ai Catinari is a church dedicated to St Charles Borromeus, Archbishop of Milan and Cardinal.Built between 1636 and 1638 by the Milanese congregation in Rome, who were anxious to honour their new saint. Rosato Rosati was commissioned to design it. It was consecrated on 19 March 1722.It was restored in the 19th century, and again in 1915 after it had been damaged by an earthquake.
This is a parochial church, which has been served by Barnabite Fathers since it was founded. While St Charles Borromeo was not a Barnabite, he is a Patron of the Order because of the extensive help and support he gave it.

On 22 November, the memorial day of St Cecilia, the Academia di Santa Caecilia plays sacred music during the festal Mass. If you are a music-lover and happen to be in Rome at that time of year, you won't regret attending this Mass.
