THE SO-CALLED “WINE of the popes,” Frascati is said to have once flowed from the fountains of Rome to celebrate the inaugurations of two particular pontiffs, Clement X and Innocent X, in the 17th century.

The first chapel on a line with the choir—the burial-place of the Altieri family—has an altar-piece, by Carlo Maratta, representing five saints canonized by Clement X., presented to the Virgin by St. Peter.

Pope Clement X., who had been bishop of Camerino, had a peculiar veneration for this saint.
