Rooms of St Stanislaus Kostka in The Jesuit Novitiate
The rooms of Saint Stanislaus Kostka have been reconstructed next to the church. A sculpture in polychrome marble by Pierre Legros (1702–03), depicts the dying saint. Fr. Andrea Pozzo has painted scenes from the life of the saint in the rooms. The canvas painting above the head of Legros' Stanislaus was painted by Tommaso Minardi in 1825 and covers some older, deteriorated frescos.

Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette

The hard legs of our women.”
