the inevitable ravioli and a fried chicken with fresh

onions.

The pilgrimage of the ‘Seven Churches’, originally conceived by St Philip Neri in the

16th century, stands as one of the most venerable traditions in Rome. This spiritual

journey encompasses approximately 25 kilometers, winding through the heart of

the city and extending into the surrounding Roman countryside. Pilgrims not only

traverse this historic landscape but also visit several magnificent basilicas that

reflect the rich ecclesiastical heritage of Rome, including stops at catacombs that

hold centuries of Christian history.

The Seven Churches

Pilgrimage

Basilica of the Holy Cross in

Jerusalem

The Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem

was established on land that once housed

an imperial residence during Augustus’s

reign. In the early 4th century, Helena,

mother of Constantine, transformed part of

this residence into a chapel for relics she

discovered at Calvary during her pilgrimage.

The basilica has undergone various

restorations over centuries and is known for

housing significant relics associated with

Jesus’ passion.

Basilica of Saint Sebastian

Outside the Walls

Basilica of Saint Sebastian Outside the Walls

was commissioned by Emperor Constantine

in the 4th century initially as Basilica

Apostolorum to honor Saints Peter and Paul.

After their relics were moved here during

persecutions, it was later dedicated to Saint

Sebastian. Established as a parish in 1714

and entrusted to Cistercian care before

passing to Franciscan priests in 1826, it

remains significant for its annual celebrations

honoring Saint Sebastian’s martyrdom and

his role as patron saint of traffic wardens in

Rome.

THE SEVEN CHURCHES PILGRIMAGE

St Peter’s Basilica in the

Vatican

THE SEVEN CHURCHES PILGRIMAGE

Basilica of Saint John

Lateran

The Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, located

on Caelian Hill, is recognized as the oldest

basilica in Rome and was originally owned by

the Laterani family before being confiscated

by Emperor Nero. In 313 AD, Emperor

Constantine granted freedom of worship to

Christians and donated this land to Pope

Melchiades for a church. Consecrated in

324 AD by Pope Sylvester I, it became the

papal seat until the 14th century. Following

extensive renovations commissioned by

Pope Innocent X in 1650, it now serves as a

symbol of papal authority and ecclesiastical

life.

Basilica of Saint Lawrence

Outside the Walls

Basilica of Saint Paul Outside

the Walls

Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls was

established after Emperor Constantine’s

Edict of Milan in 313 AD to honor Saint

Paul’s martyrdom. Originally built over his

tomb, it underwent significant expansion in

the 5th century due to increasing pilgrim

traffic. The current monumental structure

was inaugurated by Pope Pius IX in 1854

and features important relics such as chains

believed to have bound Saint Paul during his

imprisonment.

St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City is

traditionally believed to be built over the burial

site of the Apostle Peter, who was martyred

there. In the 4th century, Emperor Constantine

commissioned its construction on Vatican

Hill, establishing it as a pivotal pilgrimage

site during the High Middle Ages. In 1506,

Pope Julius II ordered a grand reconstruction

to replace the original basilica, enlisting renowned artists such as Bramante, Raphael, and

Michelangelo in its design and decoration. The interior was completed by Bernini in 1629,

resulting in a breathtaking architectural masterpiece that continues to inspire millions.

Basilica of Saint Mary Major

The Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major, known

as Santa Maria Maggiore, is the oldest Marian

sanctuary in Western Christendom and

uniquely retains its early Christian architecture.

Over centuries, while embellishments were

added, its original layout remained intact,

believed to be divinely inspired. According to

tradition, on August 5, 358, snow miraculously

fell on Esquiline Hill to mark the site for this

church. This event is commemorated today with white rose petals falling from the ceiling

during liturgies. The basilica houses significant relics, including the Salus Populi Romani icon

and the holy crib of Jesus.

Basilica of Saint Lawrence Outside the Walls

honors Saint Lawrence, a deacon martyred

under Emperor Valerian’s edict against

Christians in 258 AD. The basilica stands

where he is said to have been executed on

a gridiron. Its current structure combines

elements from earlier buildings dating back

to the 6th and 13th centuries. Though

largely destroyed during World War II bombings, it was rebuilt while preserving its historical

significance.

THE NATIONAL ROMAN MUSEUM

MUST-SEE

Palazzo Massimo

Located near Termini Station, this museum houses one of the world’s most extensive

collections of ancient art.

The palace was built between 1883 and 1887 by the Jesuit figure Massimiliano Massimo and

was established in 1889 to house some of the finest Roman antiquities.

The National Roman Museum

Palazzo Massimo: Largo di Villa Peretti, 2

Baths of Diocletian: Via Enrico de Nicola, 79

Palazzo Altemps: Piazza di Sant’Apollinare, 46

Combined ticket for access to all National Roman Museum sites: €12

Palazzo Massimo primarily features masterpieces of classical sculpture from the early

imperial periods on the ground and first floors but the collections of frescoes and mosaics on

the second floor are just as impressive and enthralling. Highlights include the Discobolus,

frescoes from Livia’s Villa, and stunning mosaics. Don’t miss the bronze statues like The

Seated Boxer and The Hellenistic Prince or the serene courtyard that complements the

exhibits.

A wing dedicated to the Roman and Barbarian Wars features breathtaking sarcophagi and

sculptures of Roman figures depicting their involvement in the war efforts.

The collections are distributed throughout the floors of the building following chronological and

thematic orders.

...................................................................................

The Museo Nazionale Romano, or National Roman Museum, is one of Italy’s most important

museums, showcasing the art of ancient Rome across four sites.

It was first opened in 1889 at the Baths of Diocletian, including parts of the nearby Santa

Maria degli Angeli monastery. A new chapter in the museum’s history began in the 1980s

when Palazzo Altemps, Palazzo Massimo, and Crypta Balbi were acquired, while significant

restoration work took place at the Baths of Diocletian.

In the 1990s, the museum was redesigned and expanded to four main locations:

• Palazzo Massimo

• Baths of Diocletian

• Palazzo Altemps

• Crypta Balbi (temporarily closed)

34 ROMEING

ROMEING 35




Baths of Diocletian

Once the largest bath complex in ancient Rome, the Baths of Diocletian were a marvel of

engineering, capable of hosting 3,000 visitors. The expansive ruins include frigidariums,

tepidariums, and calidariums, as well as gymnasiums, libraries, and gardens.

Today, visitors can find themselves walking through these awe-inspiring spaces that all reveal

the ancient grandeur of Rome’s imperial era.

The museum itself is housed in what was once part of the bath complex, so as you peruse the

statues, funerary art, and frescoes, you are experiencing a location that was once utilized by

ancient Romans in their day-to-day lives.

Within the site is the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, a church designed by Michelangelo

and built into the remains of the original bathhouse, seamlessly blending ancient Roman and

Renaissance styles.

Palazzo Altemps

Built in the 15th century by the Riario

family, Palazzo Altemps came into the

possession of the Altemps family in

1568, and has been housing parts of the

collection of the National Museum of Rome

since 1997. The collection comprises

Greek and Roman art, as well as a small

section of Egyptian art.

Highlights include The Ludovisi Group,

depicting Orestes and Electra in a poignant

embrace, and The Ludovisi Ares, a striking

sculpture of the Greek god of war at rest.

Visitors can also explore the San Aniceto

Church, a private chapel built to house the

relics of one of the earliest Popes.

Excavations beneath the palace reveal

fascinating layers of Roman and medieval

history, including remnants of a fifthcentury

building.

In addition to the collection of sculptures

and the room decorations, Palazzo

Altemps is interesting for its archeological

section. Excavations beneath the palace

reveal fascinating layers of Roman and

medieval history, including remnants of

a fifth-century building. The Tower Room

has been transformed into an excavation

site, leaving the previous mural structures

uncovered.

Visitors can get a close look at the building

structures that used to be underneath, and

showcases offer the visitor a glimpse of

the everyday objects discovered during the

excavations.

ilmarcheseroma

Il Marchese unites the best of two worlds: a bar with

elegant French salon accents and pompous chandeliers,

and a restaurant with the coziness of a Roman trattoria.

But it’s not just the décor that’s impressive. When you

walk into Il Marchese you step inside Europe’s first Amaro

bar with more than 500 different Amaro labels.

During the recent G20 in Rome, Il Marchese had two

special customers: the American First Lady Jill Biden

and the French Première Dame Brigitte Macron. The two

ladies said they were “delighted with the lovely welcome”,

complimenting the staff and the quality of the products.

ll Marchese takes its name from the Marchese del Grillo,

a symbol of Rome’s inimitable spirit– a true gentleman,

but always inclined to irony, a lover of tradition, but also

appreciated by those who come from different cultures.

Here, with Chef Daniele Roppo, you’re sure to have a

fantastic dining experience. The culinary philosophy has strong Roman roots and is inspired

by traditional recipes that are lightened according to a contemporary taste, also offering

vegetarian dishes. Quality is always a priority. Ingredients are purchased from local producers.

The amaro and cocktail bar at Il Marchese pays tribute to the elegance of 19th-century

French aristocracy, with precious stuccoes, wallpapers, and velvets. The cocktails here are

perfect for an after-dinner drink or as an aperitif. Each signature drink is crafted with premium

ingredients expertly mixed. Leading the cocktail bar is Fabrizio Valeriani, a bartender with

extensive experience.

CHORUS CAFÉ

Via della Conciliazione, 4 (Vatican)

Tue-Sat 7pm-2am

choruscafe.it

Did you know you can have dinner and drinks above a

beautiful theater, overlooking the Vatican?

Chorus Café is a true hidden gem in Rome - an

exclusive yet cozy space that feels like home.

Located on the second floor of the Auditorium

Conciliazione, in what was once the choir room (hence

the name, Chorus), this venue blends elegance with

comfort.Chorus boasts refined interiors, with marble

accents, artworks, and large windows offering views of

Via della Conciliazione. Yet, despite the luxurious setting,

Chorus Café’s atmosphere is warm and inviting.

Chorus Café has many identities: a cocktail bar, a

restaurant, and a location for private events. Whether

you’re in the mood for an aperitivo, a sit-down dinner, or

a late-night cocktail, Chorus has you covered.

The centerpiece of the space is its stunning bar, designed like a communal table where

guests gather together. This is the realm of Massimo D’Addezio, an internationally renowned

bartender, known for his innovative creations. Dinner at Chorus is an experience that you can

enjoy seated at the bar or at a table. The cuisine is led by Chef Arcangelo Dandini, whose

creations strike a balance between tradition and modernity, simplicity and creativity. The menu

is a celebration of Roman flavors with a contemporary twist.

After dinner, Chorus Café undergoes a transformation, all thanks to Art Director Marc A.

Cefaratti. Every Thursday to Saturday, after 10pm, the lights dim and the DJ begins to play,

and Chorus transforms into a nightlife destination.

Just a few streets away from the Ottaviano

metro in Via Ostia sits Rome’s oldest jazz club,

Alexanderplatz, a down to earth venue which

wouldn’t be out of place in the mecca of Jazz:

Greenwich Village, New York.

As you descend the stairs into the cavernous

interior, you’d be forgiven for forgetting you were

near the Vatican in the heart of Rome. Describing

itself as a “cradle of jazz,” the graffitied walls

and photos of legendary performers imbue

Alexanderplatz with a feeling of experimentalism

which defined jazz in its heyday.

Many of the most prominent jazz, blues, soul, music artists have performed her, including

Wynton Marsalis, Brad Meldhau, Red Rodney, Freddy Cole, Stefano Bollani, Fabrizio Bosso,

Sarah Jane Morris, Steve Coleman and many more. Founded in 1984 by Giampiero Rubei,

Alexanderplatz hosts live concerts from 9.30pm (doors open at 8pm). Entry is through

membership. The program changes regularly, so to keep up to date with upcoming

performances, it’s a good idea to check out their Facebook Page.

TONY CRAGG: INFINITE FORMS AND BOUNDLESS BEAUTY AT THE BATHS OF DIOCLETIAN

Until May 4, 2025, the Museo Nazionale

Romano will host a spectacular exhibition at

the Baths of Diocletian, featuring the works

of Tony Cragg, one of the most renowned

contemporary sculptors. The exhibit highlights

the artist’s unique approach to sculptural

design, exploring nature’s creative processes

and evolution.

The exhibition extends beyond the museum,

with sculptures displayed in iconic Roman

piazzas, creating a dialogue between

Cragg’s innovative art and the city’s historic

architecture. Cragg cites Charles Darwin

as one of his largest inspirtations for the

exhibiton, encapsulating Cragg’s passion for

exploring the richness of life’s structures, from

the microscopic to the cosmic.

Featuring 18 medium-and large-scale

sculptures crafted from materials such as

bronze, wood, travertine, fiberglass, and steel,

the works evoke natural forms, geological

patterns, and biomorphic shapes, blending

abstraction and figuration. Visitors are invited

to experience a journey that engages the

senses and imagination, bridging visible and

invisible realms, nature and artifice, tradition,

and modernity.

Cragg’s works have been exhibited in

major museums worldwide and are part of

prestigious collections. He has participated

in multiple Venice Biennales, Documenta

in Kassel, and biennials in São Paulo and

Sydney. In 1988, he was awarded the Turner

Prize, and in 2007, he received the Praemium

Imperiale from the Japanese Imperial Court.

In recent years, Cragg’s exhibitions have

included the Museo Novecento in Florence

(2022), where part of his studio was

recreated, the Reggia di Venaria (2023), and

the Negozio Olivetti in Venice, which runs until

November 2024. His upcoming showcase

at the Baths of Diocletian marks another

milestone, presenting sculptures that resonate

within the monumental spaces of one of

Rome’s most historic landmarks.

Cragg’s exhibition invites visitors to discover

the boundless possibilities of sculpture as a

medium for connecting the past, present, and

future through his own extraordinary vision.

THE IMPRESSIONISTS IN NORMANDY AT THE MUSEO DEGLI INNOCENTI

FLORENCE

To celebrate the 150-year anniversary of the birth

of the Impressionist movement in 1874, Florence’s

Museo degli Innocenti is hosting a special

exhibition of Impressionist masters until May 2025.

Leave it to this beautifully curated museum to not

only bring together the works of master painters

like Monet, Renoir, Delacroix and Courbet, but to

place them firmly in the context of the landscape

of Normandy which shaped the movement,

offering viewers a new way to appreciate these

favorites.

A New Look At Color And Light:

The Impressionists In Normandy At

The Museo Degli Innocenti

p

Lauren Mouat

Museo degli Innocenti

P.za della SS. Annunziata, 13

Until 4 May 2025

Hours: Open every day: 9:30am- 7:00pm

Ticket: Open €18, €16 full, €14 reduced

Read about all the things to explore and do in Florence on

romeing.it/florence

In April of 1874 a group of artists, rejected by the

mainstream and mainly ignored, pulled together

a makeshift exhibition to showcase a new

artistic style. Unlike the public art promulgated

by the Salon des Artistes that favored classical

subjects and large scale, studio-based projects,

these artists, (among them Monet, Manet,

Rnoir, Pissarro, and Sisle), displayed small-scale

landscape works that had been painted en plen

air. They used small vivid and visible brush strokes

and focused their attention on the accurate

depiction of natural light and its effect on color.

While at the time they were ridiculed for their

“impressions,” (a name given scathingly by the

critic Louis LeRoy) the result, as we know, was

revolutionary in the history of art.

The exhibition displays 70 works of art gathered

from the Peindre en Normandie Collection,

private collections, and the Le Havre Museum

giving visitors an opportunity to see a truly unique

collection of pieces.

THE IMPRESSIONISTS IN NORMANDY AT THE MUSEO DEGLI INNOCENTI

ONLINE MEDICAL

CONSULTATION

They are divided into five sections: The

Saint-Siméon Farm, By the Sea: Leisure and

Vacation, By the Sea: Work Life, The Land of

Normandy and Along the Seine. Each section

is accompanied by information, both written

and in video to help viewers understand

the history of impressionism, the cultural

context in which it was born and its impact

as well as detailed explanations of individual

artists. Highlights include Delacroix’s “Cliffs

at Dieppe,” Courbet’s “Beach at Trouville,”

Renoir’s “Sunset,” “View of Guernsey” and

Monet’s “Pink Waterlilies,” and “Fécamp,

Seaside.”

One of the things that always makes the

Innocenti exhibitions stand out for me are the

interactive and experimental aspects scattered

throughout. Along the route, you’ll find mini

crash courses in understanding the materials

the impressionists used, color theory, and light

effects.

Throughout the exhibition the focus on

Normandy is never far away, both in the

subject matter and through the maps that

center these now famous paintings in the

landscapes that inspired them.
