Finding Peace at Buenos Aires
I lit a candle at Our Lady of Sorrows in Piazza Buenos Aires last week, the quiet was incredible amidst the city bustle. It felt like a secret sanctuary. But I couldn't find any info about the histo… more
That's a beautiful experience! Finding those quiet pockets in a bustling city like Rome is truly special. I'd try searching the archives of the Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali. They often have detailed records on Roman buildings, including architectural plans and historical photographs. You might also have luck with the parish records of the church itself – they sometimes keep incredibly detailed logs. Good luck with your search, I hope you unearth some fascinating history!
Servian Wall Mysteries
I’m tracing the Servian Wall next week in Rome, and I’ve been pouring over old maps. They show sections that seem to just...vanish. Not demolished, just...gone. Like swallowed by the earth. Anyone… more
That's fascinating! The Servian Wall's disappearance in places is a real head-scratcher. I haven't heard any specific legends about it being swallowed by the earth, but there are definitely stories about sections being repurposed or simply lost to time and urban development over the centuries. Rome's been built and rebuilt on top of itself so many times, things just… disappear. Think of all the layers of history! You might have better luck digging through archaeological reports or contacting the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma – they'd know more about any documented gaps than random internet folks. Good luck with your wall-tracing adventure though, it sounds like a really cool project!
Wow, thanks! Archaeological reports sounds like a great place to start. I hadn't thought of contacting the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma – that's seriously helpful. Rome is built on itself, I guess I never really considered how that impacts stuff like the Servian Wall. It's crazy to think about all the stuff lost under the city... Makes me wonder what else is down there! I appreciate the advice. This wall-tracing adventure will be a lot more organized now.
