The SiGMA Italia Awards Venue

Corsie Sistine – Santo Spirito in Sassia Museum Center, Borgo Santo Spirito, Rome
Along the banks of the Tiber, and just steps from the Vatican, the Corsie Sistine brings the opulence of ancient Rome back into focus. Previously a hospital, the Santo Spirito in Saxia Hospital is one of the oldest in Europe – having been founded in 727, with the Corsie Sistine renovated by Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere towards the end of the fifteenth century. Adorned with elaborate frescos commissioned by the Pope himself and an altar designed by Carlo Maratti, the building is designed to inspire awe. The complex also houses the Lancisian Library and Academy, the National Historical Museum of Healthcare Art, the Cloisters, and the Palace of the Commendatore.
