Peruzzi Nativity
note: Peruzzi's frescoed scene of the Madonna and Child adorned the altar of the "Capella della Presepe." Due to heavy flooding, Peruzzi's fresco was severely damaged and underwent substantial repainting by either Giovanni Battista Gaulli ("Il Bacciccio") or his assistant, Giovanni Odazzi, in the seventeenth century. Peruzzi also worked on a fresco of the Annunciation for the Capella dei Mulatierri within San Rocco a Ripa; church renovations, though, in the 1640s destroyed the work (Frommel, Peruzzi als Maler, no. 15).
