Wow, that sounds incredible. The feeling of discovering something like that, so unexpectedly... It’s those moments that make traveling truly special.

I bet the carvings held so much history, even if you couldn't fully decipher them. Makes you want to learn more about the Sulpicii Maximi family, huh?

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!
