Next time you are in Rome you should visit the Church of Sant’Agostino which is not too far from one of the most famous places in Rome: Piazza Navona.
This Renaissance Church, though now half-forgotten, is a real jewel in the crown.
One has just to step inside to know why.

The first time I went there I was just boy of 15.
I remember walking down the aisle and getting a glimpse of an old painting gleaming in the dim-lit church like a mysterious jewel.

I soon found out it was the Madonna of the Pilgrims by Caravaggio, one of the great Italian Renaissance Masters.
I was deeply moved by it.
Such beauty can’t leave one indifferent after all.
Opening hours: 7:00 am -1:00 pm; 4:30 pm-7:30 pm; on Sundays from 3:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
