Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi arms by the sculptures of two barechested women make the church unique among churches in Rome. Until the 1820s, Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio a Trevi was known as the "Pontifical Parish" ("Parrocchia Pontificia"). The church's interior features a single nave; the altar is decorated by the painting "Martyrdom of Saints Vincent and Anastasius" by Francesco Pascucci.
