The Tempietto

Alex Boucher and Derek Mobilio, great seminarians from Portland and Worcester, spent their Spring break in Rome.  In the course of their pilgrimage, they visited the "Tempietto," built on the site on the Janiculm hill where Saint Peter was said to have been martyred. The Chapel was built by Donato Bramante in the first years of the sixteenth century and became a landmark of Renaissance art. A few years ago, we used the Tempietto as the inspiration for a new tabernacle in the Seminary Chapel at Saint John's Seminary. Below are Alex and Derek in front of the Tempietto, while the  seminary tabernacle is pictured below.
