From Romewise Facebook post: “Are you in Rome today? On this day, and this day ONLY, you can visit this stunning monastery right near Capitoline Hill.
Today is March 9, and it's the feast day for Santa Francesca Romana. She founded this monastery in the 15th century. And it's only open one day a year. Today.
Entry is free. Expect some crowds but it's so worth it.”
I only wish I was in Rome today. These are the kind of experiences I hope for when traveling.
Thank you for this, Denise. While sadly not in Rome today, I've just had some fun looking up info and pix of the frescoes. This piece, from one of the assisting monks, describes last year's event and what visitors are allowed to access.

Interesting to note that only 6 sisters are still in residence.
