"This parish church is named for St. Thomas of Villanova. It's notable because it was designed by the one and only Gian Lorenzo Bernini and inside there's a painting by Pietro da Cortona. Entry is free. Whether you're an art lover or history lover, this is a great spot for reflection and to appreciate the genius that is Bernini. If you have limited time, this Catholic Church is worth a quick peek. It's doable as the town Castel Gandolfo itself is rather small." - Laura Itzkowitz, Arlene Gibbs
