It is the church from where Angelo Roncalli’s spiritual journey symbolically began.
In fact, it is here that the future pope was baptized, on November 25, 1881.
And today it contains a symbol of the end of his earthly life: the tombstone that lined his tomb in the Vatican caves.
But the building’s history obviously predates the 19th century.
In fact, it dates back to the 15th century and can boast among its decorations a ‘St. Anthony of Padua’ attributed to Ceresa.
