The Basilica dei Santi Silvestro e Martino is dedicated to two saints from the 4th century who never actually crossed paths. Because of this, the church can be said to suffer from an identity crisis! Saint Silvester was the Pope who carried the church into the age of Constantine. Saint Martin of Tours was the former soldier who became a monk to champion the poor in what would become France. Their names are linked here in this building and in the layers of history.
