One church that I happened to walk past in Rome and so entered was the\u00a0Church of the Ges\u00f9. I didn\u2019t know at the time that it was\u00a0connected with the founding of the Society of Jesus \u2013 the Jesuits. What I did recognize immediately was that it contained some great works of art. There was a mirror in place to make it easier to view the art on the ceiling. I hope you enjoy this slideshow of photos I took when there! The outside gives little\u00a0clue as to what beauty lies within\u2026<\/p>\n
