One of my very favourite things to do is to give somebody (ideally a diminutive nun of an entirely indeterminate age, though this isn’t a deal-breaker) a couple of euros in return for being ushered into an improbable lift, or perhaps up or down a creaking staircase to see something long since hidden.
A terrifically fun post about frescoes that never cease to amaze me. The wings of the seraphim get me every time. And how interesting that the nuns leave you to your own devices up there!
What a great way to start my Substack subscription . I am delighted to be in Santa Cecilia with you. The sculpture of Cecilia took my breath away first time I saw it. Love the mosaics here & colourful angels! Excellent article, very informative & stunning pictures! Thank you.

Fabulous frescoes and, if I remember correctly, jars of honey too!
Did our trip in August inspire the Cavallini visit? Anxious to see it especially with a few pictures.Chuck and Linda Morrow
