The Piazza Euclide railway station is a railway station in Rome (Italy), on the Rome–Civitacastellana–Viterbo railway, managed by ATAC. It is the only underground stop of the line, excluding the Flaminio terminus. The official name of the facility is Stazione Euclide, as shown on the signs visible from the square; in the past, however, it was indicated on the railway timetables as Roma P. Euclide or, in another source, as p.za Euclide.

Ad Clivum Cucumeris Catacomb

The ad Clivum Cucumeris Catacomb (Italian: catacomba ad clivum Cucumeris) was one of the catacombs of Rome, sited on the ancient via Salaria (today's via Paisiello, via Bertoloni and via Oriani) according to ancient sources but not yet conclusively identified with any surviving ancient remains. These sources place it last on the topographical list of Rome, after those of San Panfilo and Sant'Ermete. The Notitia ecclesiarum urbis Romae, a 7th-century pilgrims' guide, invites the faithful to visit the catacombs of San Valentino then to go along the via Salaria and—before going to Sant'Ermete—to visit the cemetery of Saint John "ad clivum cucumeris" (literally "on the watermelon hill" or "on the cucumber hill"). Other sources refer to it as sancti Ioannes ad clivum cucumeris, septem palumbae (seven pigeons), coemeterium ad caput sancti Iohannis (cemetery of St John's head). The saint John in question is a priest called John, beheaded under Julian - the head was buried in an underground basilica, whilst the rest of his body was placed in the catacomb. The ancient sources state that the same catacomb also contained the remains of Liberatus, Longinus, Diogenes and Bonifacius, and Festus and Bastus. Pasquale Testini theorises that it was near the Acqua Acetosa, whilst others have identified the clivum cucumeris as the steeply-sloped present-day via Francesco Denza, which branches off what was the via Salaria and turns towards the ancient via Flaminia. Investigations between via Denza, via Bertolini and via Mercalli by Father Umberto Maria Fasola between 1954 and 1955 led him to announce that he had discovered the catacomb. New studies place it on a diversion off the ancient via Salaria at the top of via Denza and via Oriani.

Opus Dei
Opus Dei

Opus Dei, formally known as the Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei (Latin: Praelatura Sanctae Crucis et Operis Dei), is an institution of the Catholic Church, whose members seek to implement Christian ideals in their occupations and in general society.Lay people make up the majority of its membership; the remainder are secular priests under the governance of a prelate elected by specific members and appointed by the Pope. Opus Dei is Latin for "Work of God"; hence the organization is often referred to by members and supporters as the Work.Opus Dei was founded in Spain in 1928 by Catholic priest Josemaría Escrivá and was given final church approval in 1950 by Pope Pius XII. John Paul II made it a personal prelature in 1982 by the apostolic constitution Ut sit; that is, the jurisdiction of the Opus Dei's head covers members wherever they are, rather than geographical dioceses. On 14 July 2022, Pope Francis issued the apostolic letter Ad charisma tuendum, which transferred responsibility for the Opus Dei from the Dicastery for Bishops to the Dicastery for the Clergy and decreed that the head of the Opus Dei cannot become a bishop. While Opus Dei has met controversies, it remains influential within the Church. As of 2018, there are 95,318 members of the Prelature: 93,203 lay persons and 2,115 priests. These figures do not include the diocesan priest members of Opus Dei's Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, estimated to number 2,000 in the year 2005. Members are located in more than 90 countries. About 70% of Opus Dei members live in their own homes, leading family lives with secular careers, while the other 30% are celibate, of whom the majority live in Opus Dei centers. Aside from their personal charity and social work, Opus Dei members organize training in Catholic spirituality applied to daily life; members are involved in running universities, university residences, schools, publishing houses, hospitals, and technical and agricultural training centers.

Parco della Musica
Parco della Musica

Parco della Musica is a public music complex in Rome, Italy, with three concert halls and an outdoor theater in a park setting. It was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano. Jürgen Reinhold of Müller-BBM was in charge of acoustics for the halls; Franco Zagari was landscape architect for the outdoor spaces. Parco della Musica lies where the 1960 Summer Olympic Games were held, somewhat north of Rome's ancient center, and is home to most of the facilities of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. The halls are: Sala Santa Cecilia, with about 2800 seats; Sala Sinopoli, in memory of conductor Giuseppe Sinopoli, seating about 1200 people; and Sala Petrassi, in memory of Goffredo Petrassi, with 700 seats. Structurally separated for sound-proofing, they are nonetheless joined at the base by a continuous lobby. Their outer architectural form has led to nicknames such as “the blobs,” “the beetles,” “the turtles” and “the computer mouses”.) The outdoor theater, called the Cavea, recalls ancient Greek or Roman performance spaces and is fan-shaped around a central piazza. During construction, excavations uncovered the foundations of a villa and an oil-press dating from the sixth century BC. Renzo Piano then adjusted his design scheme to accommodate the archaeological remains and included a small museum to house artifacts discovered, delaying the project's completion by a year. Parco della Musica was inaugurated on 21 December 2002. Within a few years it became Europe's most-visited music facility. In 2014, it had over two million visitors, making it the second-most-visited cultural music venue in the world, after Lincoln Center in New York.
