Hasta 1592 no terminaron las obras de reconstrucción, que se completaron posteriormente con la fachada diseñada por Carlo Fontana. Se trata de una de las obras maestras de este autor, inspirada en el esquema compositivo de la de la basílica de Santa Maria del Popolo , pero dotándola de gran dinamismo barroco, con su aspecto cóncavo que, a su vez, fue imitado en otras iglesias romanas . La decoración de la fachada se completa con las esculturas monumentales de Francesco Cavallini y los relieves de Antonio Raggi.
