The Church of St. Augustine in Rome is named after Aurelius Augustine, Augustine the Blessed or Augustine of Hippo (November 13, 354 - August 28, 430) who is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. In Roman Catholicism he was a saint and Father of the Church, as well as a patron of the Augustinian monastic order. In Western Christian thought, Augustine is known as one of the Fathers of the Church and is considered by scholars to be a Master of the West. His works (including Confessions - often considered the first Western autobiography) are still widely read around the world. There are paintings by Raphael and Caravaggio in the Church of St. Augustine.
