Rome is a splendid city, embellished
by hundreds of churches and religious monuments. And people often
assume that most of those were built by and for men…but it's just not
true. Through the ages women have played a variety of religious
roles in Rome, from church-builders to ecstatic visionaries. This
City Course will take us to the Quirinal Hill, where we'll discuss the
complex relationship between Renaissance women and the Catholic Church as
we visit San Bernardo alle Terme, Santa Susanna, Santa Maria della
Vittoria, and the Aqua Felice.
