Santa Croce e San Bonaventura alla Pilotta

Santa Croce e San Bonaventura alla Pilotta or Santa Croce e di San Bonaventura dei Lucchesi is a church in Rome, sited on via dei Lucchesi in the Trevi district, between the Trevi Fountain and the Pontificia Università Gregoriana.

That church had been given to the Capuchin fathers in 1575, who had rededicated it to saint Bonaventure.

They moved to a new monastery on Piazza Barberini in 1631 and the church was granted to the Luccans by pope Urban VIII.

They demolished the old church in 1685 and built a new one in 1695 to designs by Mattia de Rossi and dedicated to the Most Holy Cross (Santissima Croce), after the cult of the 'Volto Santo', a piece of the True Cross venerated in Lucca Cathedral.
