Behind the unprepossessing doors of the French church lies one of Rome's art treasures. Three paintings by Caravaggio telling the story of St Mathew. Caravaggio was a drunk, a murderer and a revolutionary artist. He peopled his pictures with real people (sometimes criminals and prostitutes) and uses a cinematic style of lighting. This is not surprising since many filmmakers cite him as an inspiration including Martin Scorsese and Derek Jarman. If you like this you'll love the Villa Borghese.
