Abstract This article reframes Antonio da Sangallo the Younger's oft‐overlooked cappella Cesi nave façade in Santa Maria della Pace not as an isolated design deviation but as part of a broader architectural and artistic conversation among major players in early sixteenth‐century Rome. It situates Sangallo's project both within the larger discourses of exterior façade design, ornament, and artistic collaboration in the period. It thus argues for a reappraisal of the Cesi chapel to explore how it participates in the wider language of façade‐making and artistic collaboration in Renaissance Rome.
