Gregorian Uni Mystery?
So, I'm heading to the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome next month for a conference. I've heard whispers...legends, really, about a hidden library within the university walls, filled with incr… more
Lol, a hidden library at the Gregorian? That's a good one. I've spent years researching Vatican City archives – trust me, the whispers are probably about something, but not quite what you think. It's more likely a particularly well-guarded section of their existing library, maybe containing sensitive papal documents or something equally boring. Think restricted access archives, not some Indiana Jones-style secret chamber. Unless you're a high-ranking official or a seriously connected scholar, your chances are… slim to none. Seriously, focus on enjoying the conference; the real treasures are probably the talks, not some mythical book collection. Don't waste your time trying to infiltrate some secret society. You'll probably just get lost in the labyrinthine corridors.
Finding Peace in Panfilo?

That's lovely! Finding pockets of peace amidst the Roman chaos is a real treasure. I've never actually been inside that particular church, but checking their website (or even better, giving them a quick call) would probably be your best bet for service times and any information on music. Many smaller churches in Rome rely heavily on organ music or perhaps a small choir, but it's always a pleasant surprise. Good luck, and enjoy the tranquility again!
Oh, that's fantastic advice! I hadn't thought of calling them directly. Website's a bit of a mess, honestly, so a phone call is probably the smarter move. Thanks a bunch! Hoping for some Gregorian chant... fingers crossed!
