The Chapel of Saint Thomas of Villanova and the Chapel of Saint Rita (otherwise the Feoli and Cicada Chapels) () are two small chapels opening in the right transept of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo. They are relatively insignificant in terms of artistic value compared to the other side chapels of the church. History Borgia Chapel The Chapel of Saint Lucy or the Borgia Chapel was bought by the former mistress of Pope Alexander VI, Vannozza dei Cattanei. It was located in the right transept of the church. The chapel became the burial place of Vannozza (†1518), her second and third husbands, and also the sons of the pope, Pier Luigi de Borgia (†1488) and Giovanni Borgia, the Duke of Gandia who was murdered in 1497. The right for obtaining a funeral chapel in the basilica had been secured by Vannozza's second husband, apostolic secretary Georgio della Croce in 1484 before he died a year later. Vannozza, a rich businesswoman in her own right, became the patroness of the Augustinian convent. The Vicar General of the Congregation, Gaudientio di Bargi gave her permission on 24 February 1500 to acquire the first chapel to the right of the high altar, and furnish it according to her wish. On 4 March 1501 Vannozza commissioned Andrea Bregno and Giovanni di Larigo to design a tabernacle and an altar. She also commissioned a painting of Saint Lucy, the patron of her chapel. The painting supposedly portrayed Vannozza herself and remained in the chapel until its demolition in 1658. During the Sack of Rome in 1527 the Borgia tombs were probably vandalised but Vanozza's tomb remained in the chapel until at least 1576 because in this year a copy was made of the funerary inscription. The burial stone was later lost, and rediscovered in the Basilica of San Marco in 1947 where it had been used as a paving block. Twin chapels After the Borgia Chapel was demolished two new identical chapels were built during Bernini's intervention in 1658 at the expense of the convent. The left one, which was already dedicated to St. Thomas of Villanova at the time of its construction, was given first to Abbot Benedetto Mazzini in 1671. He planned to use it as a family burial place. The chapel was obtained in 1857 by Pietro Feoli who commissioned Giambattista Benedetti to completely redesign it in Neo-Renaissance style. The
