Crucifixion of Saint Peter
Caravaggio
The Crucifixion of Saint Peter (Italian: Crocifissione di san Pietro; 1601) is a work by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, painted for the Cerasi Chapel of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. Across the chapel is a second Caravaggio work depicting the Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus (1601). On the altar between the two is an Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Annibale Carracci.
The painting depicts the martyrdom of St. Peter by crucifixion—Peter asked that his cross be inverted so as not to imitate his God, Jesus Christ, hence he is depicted upside down. The large canvas shows Ancient Romans, their faces shielded, struggling to erect the cross of the elderly but muscular apostle.

San Pietro in Montorio is a late 15th century conventual and titular church on the Gianicolo overlooking Trastevere. The postal address is Piazza San Pietro in Montorio 2. Pictures of the church at Wikimedia Commons are here. There is an English Wikipedia page here.
Name[]
The dedication is to St Peter the Apostle.
The appellation Montorio allegedly originated with the yellow sand of the hill, anciently named the Ianiculum after the god Janus. The developed etymology was that there used to be a sand-pit that glowed golden at sunrise and could be seen at a distance, hence the hill began to be referred to as Mons Aureus in early mediaeval times.&#
