Commentary
"S. Maria della Consolazione, Todi, begun under the supervision of Cola da Caprarola, is a pilgrimage church of unclear authorship; it seems to be related to Bramante's S. Peter's, begun two years before, and also recalls Leonardo's 'ideal' church designs. The geometrically composed centrally-planned building is perhaps the most perfect and uncompromising example of its theoretically desirable type. A square crossing surmounted by a dome is abutted by four semi-domed apses, the one containing the altar being semicircular, the other three polygonal. The interior unusually combines double storeys of pilasters with a giant order at the crossing."
