It’s Saturday, and we don’t have anything special planned.  Lots of commotion down the street, so we investigated.  An antifascism demonstration apparently.  We took a few pictures and left.  Had some laundry to do, a little shopping and writing on the blog.  Gonna do a church crawl later.  We went to the Chiesa del Gesu to see the tomb of St. Roberto Bellarmino and a statue of St. Ignatius that is revealed at 17:30 when the painting on the altar is lowered (according to a web site).  Well the movable picture isn’t working, we weren’t the only ones asking about it, and the tomb was in another church, St. Ignatius that wasn’t too far away, so of course we went.  St. Roberto Bellarmino, a Doctor of the Church is the guy who had Fra Bruno burned at the stake in Campo Fiori that we visited on the 16^th.
