To reach the Basilica di Santa Maria in Aracoeli you first climb 124 steps unless you find a back entrance with about 30 steps. 😉 In this “chandelier” church we sang 6 pieces acapella for the mass.
There was a Sunday wedding just before our performance which is most unusual. There were 20 clergy plus a Bishop officiating the ceremony. It is my guess that these families have friends in high places-the Vatican perhaps? 👰
I had the best ever melon and prosciutto platter for lunch.
It was so hot that many of us took the bus to Sant’Agnese in Agone where our next concert was scheduled. The church is small but the acoustics were outstanding!! We had a audience of several hundred people (standing room only). We received a standing ovation from our generous and enthusiastic audience.
Today’s flavours were dark chocolate and mint 🍨!
