Façade of Santa Caterina a Magnanapoli in Rome, with the Torre delle Milizie behind.

Giovanni Battista Soria (1581 November 22, 1651) was an Italian architect who lived and worked mostly in Rome.

Tha façades of the church he designed were influenced by the style of Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola and Carlo Maderno.

Soria designed the fountain (c. 1630) at the entrance to the walled garden at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum[1][2]
