San Gregorio della Divina Pietà in Rome, Italy #162113360
Description
San Gregorio della Divina Pietàfacing the Piazza Gerusalemme located in Rione Sant`Angelo, in Rome, Italy. It is located near the Great Synagogue of Rome and the former Jewish quarter of Rome. Until 1870, the pope required the Jews living in the nearby ghetto to attend compulsory sermons in front of the church, which faced two gates of the Jewish quarter. Because of this, during a restoration in 1858, a bilingual Hebrew and Latin inscription with a passage from the Old Testament Book of Isaiah Isaiah 65:2ââ¬â3, in which the Lord complains about the obstinacy of the Jews, was put on the facade.
