My friend has lived in Rome for years and we'd never come across this place until recently. Well worth a visit, especially if you've visited Rome several times and have seen the usual sights. Went in April 2008. I don't want too say too much as it may lessen the impact of this place - it's incredible and quite eerie.... more

Una cosa unica! Mai vista una roba simile: un'intera cripta decorata con le ossa dei frati defunti! E quando dico... more
