San Lorenzo's Secret?
honestly that little chapel is the Cappella di Santa Maria della Colonna, not super well known even among locals. it was added in the 1600s when they restored the church, and the column reference is about a miracle where a statue of Mary supposedly saved a kid from falling scaffolding during construction. most guidebooks skip it because it's easy to miss but the frescoes inside are from the 18th century, pretty faded but you can still see the old colors if you squint
might be the chapel of st lawrence himself since the church is named after him but tbh rome has a million hidden chapels like that. could just be a forgotten family burial spot
I think that tiny chapel is dedicated to Saint Michael, there's a faded painting of him up there if you look closely. My grandmother used to say people would stop in there to pray before crossing the city during the plague, kind of a last-minute blessing spot.
What are current tobacco prices for LM Blue or Chesterfield Blue?
tbh duty free at Riga is only worth it if you're buying cartons, single packs at the airport arent that much cheaper than teh tabaccai in Rome. also remember you can only bring a limited amount into the EU anyway so stockpiling has its limits
Chesterfield Blue usually runs around 5.50 to 6 euros a pack in Rome these days, though tabaccai prices are fixed by the state so it won't vary much shop to shop. Riga is generally cheaper for cigarettes but your layover time matters, if it's tight you might not have time to clear security and find a shop.
LM Blue in Rome is roughly the same ballpark, around 5.50 to 6 euros. One thing to keep in mind at Riga airport, the duty free selection isn't always great for specific brands like these, so if you're set on LM or Chesterfield you might strike out. I'd check what the actual duty free has before counting on it.
