"After the canonisation had been celebrated with the customary ceremonies, there were immediately great demonstrations of jubilation: trumpets, drums and bells were sounded, rockets and artillery salvoes were fired. And rejoicings were made in the church of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli for the canonisation of Saint Isidor, in the Gesù for that of Saint Ignatius and Saint Francis Xavier, in that of Santa Maria della Scala, in Trastevere, for that of Saint Teresa of Jesus, and in that of Santa Maria in Vallicella, also called Chiesa Nuova, for that of Saint Philip Neri. On that day many alms were given in different places and by different people, also privately and with a specific intention. Thus, the fathers of the Gesù distributed among the poor a great quantity of white bread, one pound a loaf. At dusk great luminaries were made in all the streets and in almost all the houses of Rome, burning barrels and putting candles in the windows, and particularly the fathers of the Company not only filled with lights all the windows and the cornice of the Roman College, and burnt barrels and made the girándola (wheel of fire) but, in the church of the Gesù, they filled with lights the whole dome, which was a pleasure to see, and the whole façade from the cornice downwards was full of fireworks, which looked like a marvel. The façades of the other three churches corresponding to the other canonised saints were also filled with lights; and these fires and rejoicings with drums and trumpets, bells and rockets were also made in the evening of the two following days. For the canonisation of St. Isidore, the church of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli was all covered inside, in a very noble manner, with various silk tapestries, and adorned with much silver. The same was done for that of St. Teresa in the church of Santa Maria della Scala. But the Chiesa Nuova was so richly adorned with superb tapestries, so well distributed, that together with the very great quantity of silver, no other church was seen to surpass it in decoration".
