Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in Assisi, Italy, was originally built as a temple for Minerva, the Roman goddess of Wisdom. In the 17th century, a Catholic Church was built upon the temple (yet still used the original façade). The name translates into "Saint Mary Above Minerva", showing the dominance of Mary and, ultimately, Christianity, over the pagan religions of ancient Rome, as does the placement of the basilica, built on top of the old temple. The interior contrasts the ancient façade, boasting Baroque style architecture and impressive paintings. In the middle of the vaulted ceiling is a golden medallion with "San Filippo" in glory, surrounded by four angels made of golden succo in bas relief. Behind each angel is one of the four cardinal virtues, each symbolized by a woman sitting on clouds. Justice and fortitude are on the right, and prudence and temperance are on the left. The temperas were made by Francesco Appiani, an Italian painter. The remainder of the ceiling is highly decorated with elegant gold designs, common of baroque style architecture.
