14 January - The statue of Laocoön and His Sons (attributed to Agesander, Athenodoros and Polydoros of Rhodes; perhaps the original of the 2nd or 1st century BC or a later Roman copy) is unearthed in Felice De Fredis's vineyard near the site of the Domus Aurea of the Roman emperor Nero and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome.
It is located near the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, separated from the Pontifical Oriental Institute by the Church of Saint Anthony, and is known informally as the Russicum.
His sculptural work can be seen in Rome in the grandiose funeral chapel of Pope Pius V designed by Domenico Fontana at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Francis), in the Church of the Gesù (one of four marble angels in the third chapel on the right) and in the right transept of the Chiesa Nuova (Saint John the Evangelist and Saint John the Baptist, both signed).
The holy door of St. Peter's Basilica was opened by the Pope on 24 December 1999 while the doors of St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major were opened on 25 December and 1 January, respectively.
Admirable icons that ended up in Western Europe after the conquest of Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204, like the Madonna Nicopeia in St Mark's Basilica in Venice, the Madonna di San Luca in the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca in Bologna, the Madonna Salus Populi Romani in the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome and other with Greek inscriptions of that period are attributed to him.
By the 17th century only this column survived; in 1614 it was transported to Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore and crowned with a bronze statue of the Virgin and Child.
He also immediately commissioned a representative tomb from the sculptor Pierre Le Gros the Younger to be erected in the Sistine Chapel of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.
Nothing definite is known about the beginning or end of his life, but he was employed successively by several Roman churches and chapels: the Cappella Liberiana at the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, the San Luigi dei Francesi, the Cappella Giulia (the Julian Chapel) at St Peter's, and Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano.
Pozzi worked primarily for Roman churches, painting, for example, the Blessed Niccolò Albergati in a chapel of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore; eight ovals between the windows (c. 1736) for San Silvestro al Quirinale (Titi 1763); the refectory of the Church of San Gregorio Nazareno; a Death of St Joseph (1742) for the third chapel of the Church of Santissimo Nome di Maria (Titi 1763).
During 1590-1591, he got a commission by Cardinal Bonifazio Bevilacqua Aldobrandini for paintings in the Roman Jesuit Church of the Gesù and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.
