  • Going across the river from the Isola Tiberina you end up in a little place of Trastevere neighborhood called piazza in Piscinula. A visit to the piazza church - San Benedetto in Piscinula - is worth a detour. there you will find the place where St. Benedict lived before going to Subiaco. The church itself is medieval and basically everything is orginal. You will find there the smallest bell tower and the oldest bell of Rome. The chuch is taking care of by the Heralds of the Gospel, a new religious community. When visiting, if you have any questions, they can answer you in English, French Italian, Spanish, Portuguese. They know their history, do not hesitate to ask since you won't find out much if you don't read italian...
