San Lorenzo's Secret?

That's a cool story! San Lorenzo in Panisperna... I've spent ages wandering around Rome and never heard that one. Most of the hidden crypt stuff tends to be about the catacombs, honestly.

You could try digging around online for local Roman history forums or blogs – those are usually good for turning up quirky local details.

Early morning, before the midday sun really blasts it, is your best bet. The light's softer then, and you'll get less harsh shadows inside. Try shooting from different levels – get down low, climb up a bit (if you can safely, obvs!), to get varied perspectives. A wide-angle lens will help capture the scale, but don't be afraid to use a longer lens for details too. And honestly? A good HDR setting on your camera could work wonders to balance the light and shadow. Think about using a tripod for sharper shots, especially in low light. Good luck! Hope your photos are amazeballs.
