Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista's Secret?
I'm heading to Rome next month and stumbled upon this school, Scuola San Giovanni Evangelista, online. It looks incredible, all old stone and ivy. My grandmother always talked about how she went to… more
Doubtful about hidden passages and secret rooms. Most schools, even old ones, are pretty well-documented these days. Someone would've spilled the beans on a secret library by now, you know? The ivy and stone are cool, though! Maybe check out their website or contact them directly; they might have some interesting historical info for you. Failing that, a good old fashioned wander around the exterior might reveal some interesting architectural details – always worth a shot!
Yeah, you're probably right about the secret passages. I was kinda hoping for something Indiana Jones-esque, haha. I did check their website – pretty basic stuff, mostly about current classes.
