- The chapel is in the left aisle of the Lateran Basilica. The original chapel, probably the work of Carlo Maderno, was pulled down due to Borromini's restoration and the present chapel built by Giovanni Antonio de Rossi probably between 1674 and 1686. "Ecclesiastical commissions in Rome were rare at this time, limited in many instances to restorations. His commission (after 1674) to construct a chapel for the Lancellotti family at S Giovanni in Laterano was therefore an important one. For this project he turned to Michelangelo's Cappella Sforza in S Maria Maggiore for his model, updating it with an ornamental idiom derived from Borromini.
