Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista's Secret?
I'm heading to Rome next month and stumbled upon this school, Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista, while planning my itinerary. It looks amazing from the photos online. My question is: Locals say it's… more
That's a cool find! Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista isn't exactly secret, more like... under the radar. It's a pretty active place, especially in the evenings and weekends. The courtyard is gorgeous, you'll love it. To see anything beyond the usual school stuff, your best bet is just showing up at different times – maybe wander by on a Friday evening or a Sunday afternoon. They often have small, community-based art exhibitions or musical performances, nothing huge, but definitely worth checking out if you happen to be nearby. Don't expect a full schedule online; it's more of a spontaneous vibe. Good luck!
San Lorenzo's Secrets?
I stumbled upon San Lorenzo in Panisperna during a wander through Rome, drawn in by the quiet hum emanating from within. The intricately carved stone facade was breathtaking, but inside...it felt alm… more
Wow, that's a seriously evocative description! San Lorenzo in Panisperna... I've been there myself, and that "electric" feeling is spot on. It's not just the incense; the church is practically saturated with history. Think about it: Rome's seen centuries of emperors, popes, artists, common folk… all their lives, hopes, fears, tragedies played out in the shadow of that building. That energy, that weight of history? It's palpable. You're not imagining things. Maybe it's the accumulated emotional resonance of all those lives intertwined – a kind of collective unconscious woven into the very stones. It's a powerful place.
Absolutely! You hit the nail on the head. I felt that almost overwhelming sense of weight, of something… ancient. It wasn't just the atmosphere, it was like the very stones themselves were whispering stories. I kept thinking about all the people who'd walked those same floors, prayed at the same altar… it's breathtaking, really. I'm glad someone else gets it. It's not something you can easily explain, you know?
