A vivid depiction of sacred Rome and its religious life under modern governance, focusing on churches, monasteries, liturgical spectacles and popular devotion. It surveys major festivals — Christmas presepi, Epiphany celebrations and carnival — and describes rituals from Ash Wednesday to Lenten sermons, noting how art, music and ceremony serve devotional aims.
