Sunday in Rome |
| Sunday we worshipped with La Chiesa di Christo in Rome. This church was begun through the efforts of Sandro Corazza several decades ago. His son, Stefano, now serves the church as evangelist. Brother Sandro continues to spend his time in translating good biblical literature into Italian. At the invitation of the church I spoke yesterday and plan to speak again next Sunday. Stefano, one of my students about 30 years ago, translated for me. These men are doing a good work in a challenging area. Labels: christianity, roman empire, rome |

ROMAN FORUM VIEW FROM THE PALATINE HILL |
| Interview with Sen. Antonio Cederna conducted by Andreas M. Stiener; Antonio Cederna, an archaeologist by training, has completed excavations of Carsoli in Abruzzo. Since 1952 he has dealt with issues regarding the protection of our environmental and historic-artistic heritage, writing in the most important daily papers and periodicals. He is president of the Roman branch of “Italia Nostra” and since 1987 has been the Deputy Parliamentarian of the Independent Left. --Sen. Cederna, what are the reasons, seemingly determined at the parliamentary level, for the lack of attention to issues relating to the archaeological heritage of Rome? “First of all it should be said that the situation has not always been like this. One only needs to recall when, one hundred and two years ago in July of 1887, law number 171 was passed in order to protect the ancient monuments in the city of Rome. In the Italy of that time, the Italy which we today think little of, people such as Guido Baccelli, Ruggiero Bonghi and Rodolfo Lanciani knew to bring about expropriations that in reality saved about 200 hectares in the zone south of the Coliseum.
