The little church of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte (1733–37) was a small project undertaken for the "Compagna della buona morte" whose role since 1538 had been to give decent burial to the unclaimed corpses of Rome. Fuga was himself a member of this confraternity which possessed its own "coemeterium" on the banks of the Tiber, since lost to the nineteenth-century construction of the "Lungotevere". The previous church of 1575 was demolished in 1733, and Fuga gave the new one an elliptical plan under an elliptical dome. On its crowded façade a triangular pediment encloses a segmental one, both cornices breaking forwards at the center and at the corners; pairs of columns fill the narrow recesses between the wide central bay and the corners, which are emphasized with stacked pilasters. Skulls wreathed with laurel serve as brackets for the pediment of the door.
