Giuseppe Sardi

He designed and executed only one church from scratch, that of Santa Maria del Rosario in 1712 in the Colonna family fiefdom of Marino, in the Alban Hills outside Rome.

[6] Also confirmed is Sardi's authorship of the façade of the Trastavere church of Santi Quaranta Martiri (also known as San Pasquale Baylon) (1736–39).

[8] Vasi claims that the façade was the design of Giovanni Battista Conti,[9] while Titi attributes it to 'Ciacomo Ciolli’ (Giacomo Cioli) and Sardi jointly.

[12] Rossini's Mercurio errante (1741) and the 1745 edition of Roisecco's guide book do not mention the designer, although they do draw attention to the façade.

[14] Scholars have long been undecided who should be credited with this design which has also been attributed to Emanuele Rodriguez Dos Santos.
