It turns out that Monte Testaccio, the hill in the neighborhood made entirely out of smashed Roman amphorae, is open on Good Friday for the stations of the cross. Usually the hill is off-limits to visitors, though our neighbor’s daughter said that when she was young - she’s seventy- it was open to everyone. Presumably if you opened it to the public they would take all the pot shards? There are a lot of them. Though Patrizia says they closed it because they found a body at the top of the hill.
Santa Francesca Romana has a lot of trouble, plus a bonus of some kind of cat and dog organ they have in heaven. Frescoes by Antoniazzo Romano, maybe with help by Benozzo Gozzoli, in the Tor de’ Specchi, only open to the public on the 9th of March.
