Every year on their feast I think of my experience in Rome where the two apostles were martyred. Many years ago, a few years before my ordination, a seminarian and I were asked to go to Rome for the summer working in the library of the North American College. North American College is located on the beautiful Gianicolo Hill, very near Vatican City. It is a very big building surrounded by a beautiful garden. From our windows we could see the majestic dome of the basilica of Saint Peter. The North American College prepares seminarians who come from every diocese of the United States for ordination to the priesthood. At that time the rector of the North American College was Msgr. Timothy Michael Dolan, who after many years became our present Archbishop and Cardinal. He was very gracious to provide room and board and also to pay us for our humble work in the library. We were very grateful to him for his generosity. We never thought that one day he would be our Archbishop. Today after many years I recall with joy those hot but happy and fruitful months working in the library and visiting the ancient city of Rome. During that free time I visited many famous churches and ancient Roman monuments, and one of them, not known by tourists, was the small church "Quo vadis Domine." As a teenager I was touched and moved reading a classical and historical novel "Quo vadis Domine" written by Henryk Sienkiewicz who won the Noble prize for literature last century. I always hoped that one day I could have the blessing to go to Rome and visit the little church with its unique story that deeply touched me. There I was on one of those humid and hot Roman summer days visiting the church "Domine Quo vadis” which means "Lord where are you going?" The church is located outside the city of Rome, on the Appian Way. We had to take two buses and it took a few hours to get there. As seminarians we could never afford to rent a car and visit the historical place. The actual name of the church is Santa Maria in Palmis - Holy Mary among the Soles of the Feet. It is very small church with its plain classical front attached to a brick office building on one side and a limestone on the other. That day there was a flood inside the church. They were cleaning and no one could get in. We insisted begging them to let us in. Final- ly, the couple who were very tired allowed us to visit the church. It was not much to see inside, a very simple and plain church. For me it was a very unique place and more important than the famous and well known Roman places and monuments. I was very young when I read this clas- sical historical novel. In my mind was a clear image of what happened two thousand years ago. In that empty church I pictured Saint Peter, who was troubled in his heart, walking on the same road that I was walking. He was trying to escape the wicked emperor Nero who was seeking his life. And it was precisely where the little and plain church stands today, that Peter had the vision of Christ walking toward him. He immediately knelt when Christ was approaching Peter on the dusty road. Saint Peter on his knees asked: "Domine quo vadis?" which means "Lord, where are you going?" And Christ looking with love and mercy on the one whom he loved, the one who denied him three times before the crucifixion, and now Peter was trying to escape the cross. One could imagine very well that unique moment: Peter kneeling and Christ looking at him and answering the question of Peter: "I am going to Rome to be crucified for the second time.” The vision was gone. Saint Peter understood very well that he must return to the city facing his death. He knew that this time he could not escape the cross. He knew his sentence: shedding his blood on the cross upside down on the Vatican hill. In the silence of that empty church that question of Saint Peter moved me in my early teens reading the book, and moved me more being in that place where the vision took place. The power of Christ in the eyes of Saint Peter who on his knees was looking at him would have been powerful.

The Deesis represents the figure of Jesus as Pantocrator – Lord of all - with Mary and John the Baptist on either side raising their hands in prayerful intercession for humanity. This mosaic dates from the 1200s - a masterpiece of late Byzantine art. Helen pointed out to me that she had created an impressed background on the gold of the icon to replicate the shell-like pattern of the tesserae on the original mosaic.

    GENNADEION MONOGRAPHS 111 CHAPTERS ON MEDIAEVAL AND RENAISSANCE VISITORS TO GREEK LANDS BY JAMES MORTON PATON EDITED BY L.A.P. THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY 1951 Copyright 1951 By the Trustees of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens Published 1951 All Rights Reserved PRINTED IN TBE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE FEW words in regard to the contents of this little book are necessary. Its A author, at the time of his death on November 23, 1944, had in preparation an extensive work on the mediaeval history and monuments of Athens, in the manifold sources for which, even after the invaluable studies of Laborde and more recent scholars, he still found a fresh harvest. His researches, carried on principally in the libraries and archives of Paris, Venice, Florence and Rome, were interrupted in 1939 by the European war, and their continuation at the Harvard College Library was somewhat later terminated by his gradually failing health. His work, in spite of its long duration, can scarcely be said to have passed beyond the stage of collecting sources; their synthesis and discussion he had of course postponed until they should have been adequately assembled. He had, however, although Athens remained the center of his interest, almost completed a few sections, forming to a certain extent byways leading from the main path, and he had also prepared the texts of various sources in a form suitable for publi- cation. This material is collected here in the hope that, as he would have desired, it mzy prove of service to future investigators in the same field.

  • "Belonging of Right to Our English Nation" the Oratory of Domine Quo Vadis, Reginald Pole, and the English Hospice in Rome
    RIHA Journal 0238 | 30 March 2020 "Belonging of right to our English nation" The Oratory of Domine Quo Vadis, Reginald Pole, and the English Hospice in Rome Andrea Bacciolo Abstract Located in Rome, at the Appian Way, the oratory of Domine Quo Vadis is a circular domed building that has heretofore been dated to Julius III's pontificate (1550–1555) and associated with Cardinal Reginald Pole's patronage. In addition to confirming the role of Reginald Pole, new documentary evidence proves both an earlier date of construction and the involvement in the works of the English Hospice as financial contributor. Considering the cultural and political climate, the Anglo-Roman relations, and the institutional background, this article deals with the oratory as a materialization of the emerging identity of English Catholics in Rome. Contents The Oratory of Domine Quo Vadis New lights on the building The site as a crucial stage in the route of Charles V's triumphal entry in 1536 Reginald Pole, Henry VIII, and the English in Rome A materialization of the emerging identity of English Catholics The Oratory of Domine Quo Vadis [1] Standing outside the Aurelian Walls, the oratory of Domine Quo Vadis is a small, circular domed building situated in the carefully preserved environment of the Appian Way Regional Park a few kilometres from the city centre of Rome.1 Located next to the church of Santa Maria in Palmis, it faces 1 The present essay is based on a paper entitled "Il sacello del Domine Quo Vadis.

  • 5 Devotional Pathways and Urban Space Shaping Martyrial Memories, Relics and Icons in Rome in the Middle Ages
    The Body, the Liturgy and the City Shaping and Transforming Public Urban Spaces in Medieval Christianity (Eighth-Fourteenth Centuries) Renata Salvarani 5 Devotional Pathways and Urban Space Shaping Martyrial Memories, Relics and Icons in Rome in the Middle Ages Summary 5.1 Itineraries and Narratives Per Loca. – 5.2 Spatial Definition of Roman Lit- urgies. – 5.3 Use of the Images. – 5.4 Conclusions. The history of Rome between the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ag- es provides a broad and extremely varied range of devotional and li- turgical situations, partly fixed and codified, partly opened to be re- enacted and modified by worshippers. Some case studies especially point out that the building of devo- tional pathways, consolidated by use and become consuetudo, has been crucial in the context of general process of Christianization of the urban space. The same happened to the social and cultural ac- tions legitimating élites and religious institutions. The holy bodies, the remains of Peter and Paul in primis, but al- so the relics of the martyrs, have polarized a rich and complex litur- gical creativity. That is not all: we have to consider the bodies of the Popes, alive and active in leading celebrations. Made solemn and depersonalized by more and more magnificent sacred vestments and holy garments, they appear as key elements of the hierophanic moments that mark rites and processions. Liturgies took their multi-layered character also thanks to pro- cesses of symbolization and semantic shifting that moved some ritu- Studi di storia 11 DOI 10.30687/978-88-6969-364-9/005 73 Salvarani 5 • Devotional Pathways and Urban Space Shaping al actions onto objects and mobile elements.

  • Art and Reform in Tenth-Century Rome – the Paintings of S. Maria in Pallara
    ART AND REFORM IN TENTH-CENTURY ROME – THE PAINTINGS OF S. MARIA IN PALLARA by Maria Laura Marchiori A thesis submitted to the Department of Art In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (November, 2007) Copyright © Maria Laura Marchiori, 2007 Abstract The medieval wall paintings of the church of S. Maria in Pallara, situated on the Palatine Hill, Rome, provide insight into the intellectual use of images in the Middle Ages. The fragmentary apse programme survives, supplemented by antiquarian drawings that include copies of lost nave cycles and a lost donor portrait of their patron, Petrus Medicus. The patron, along with his monastic foundation, is documented in tenth-century charters, on which documents the paintings’ dating currently depends. Questions about this dating have surfaced in the art-historical literature, as have concerns about gender and historical veracity, matters of historiography which are introduced in Chapter 1. Thus, the goals of this study were to verify the paintings’ dating, to examine their use of text and image and to illuminate the context in which they were created. Chapter 2 describes and analyses the S. Maria in Pallara paintings within Roman artistic traditions of the Romanesque period. Since no contemporary parallel can be found for the iconography of the Apostles on the shoulders of Prophets decorating the church’s apse arch, a composition more common to Gothic art, Chapter 3 examines the iconography’s diffusion and sources. Textual evidence suggests that a church dedicated to Saint Sebastian preceded the tenth- century foundation of S.
