This essay focuses on the lost church of Santa Croce a Villa Madama in Rome, often mentioned by scholars but yet unknown in its ichnographic features. A series of hitherto unpublished drawings from the collection of the art historian Jean-Baptiste Seroux d'Agincourt, housed in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, allows reconstructing the original aspect of the building, formerly a roman cistern.
