That's a fantastic find! The Sepolcro del Giovinetto Quinto Sulpicio Massimo isn't exactly a household name, even for many Romans. You're right, the craftsmanship is incredible.

It's possible his family's influence faded quickly, or maybe the stories just didn't survive the centuries. Think of all the names lost to time... It makes the quiet dignity of the place even more poignant, doesn't it? Almost like a forgotten whisper from the past.

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!
