Orazio Spada and his architects: amateurs and professionals in late seventeenth century Rome.

"Spada's patronage and his activity as an amateur architect ... the plan and elevation of the main oval body of the Spada chapel is an almost exact copy of Vignola's Sant'Anna de' Palafrenieri (église paroissiale (Cité du Vatican), officiée par les augustins, AdeM.). The fidelity with which he follows this Renaissance model suggests that the marchese was partly responsible for the basic design, along with the professional architects who worked in the project" (BHA).
