Hah, secret societies at LUISS? That's a fun one. My cousin went there – years ago, mind you – and he swore blind there was something. Never got specifics, just vague talk about late-night meetings, cryptic symbols… the usual. Think it's more likely a bunch of over-caffeinated students playing a bit too much The Da Vinci Code, but hey, if you find anything genuinely secretive, let me know! My bet is on a really exclusive study group with a ridiculously elaborate initiation ceremony involving… pasta?

Pasta initiation? That's actually pretty hilarious. My cousin mentioned something about a "society" that helped with internships – maybe that's the "secret" part, a network only certain students know about. Or maybe it's just a really good excuse for late night pizza. Either way, the mystery continues!

That's fascinating! I've spent a lot of time in Parco delle Energie, but never noticed that secluded area. Old stonework in Rome... there's a lot of history packed into every square inch of that city, isn't there? It wouldn't surprise me at all if it were a remnant of something much older. Maybe even a small part of some long-forgotten building or structure. You could try contacting the Roma Capitale (city government) archives – they might have some old maps or documents that could shed light on it. Or maybe even the local historical society. Good luck with your search; let us know what you find out!
