The ghost of Luca de Marchettis

I've already written about nobles ghosts: this is a new story. The zone of Monteverde, exactly on San Calepodio street, it seems to be hunted by the ghost of Luca de Marchettis, a nobleman who killed himself jumping from a balcony of his house. The villa today appears as decadent and almost covered from ground ivy and just for these things it seems scary. Neighbours tells that during the night this villa is alive: they say that there are lights turning on and off itself without anyone touch them (no one, infact, lives in this house) and they hear steps. Other people affirm that they saw the ghost of Luca de Marchettis walking in this way and then coming back home and sometimes heard a thud, the thud of the suicide nobleman. So don't be surprise if romans who lives here don't want to cross this street. For more, post me. Dblk

Living miracles in Rome

In the Basilica "SS. XII Apostoli" (Santi Apostoli square, picture) the blood of San Giacomo Maggiore is melted from a lot of century. You probably know that once taken from the body, the blood became solid soon, but this one in the church, is still liquid. You can see another miracle in the church of San Francesco Saverio della Garbatella (Via Daniele Comboni, 2): infact here you can find the undamaged arm of the saint. Undamaged is also the heart of San Camillo de Lellis, keeped in a Chapel of the church of Santa Maria Maddalena, near the Phanteon. For more, post me. Dblk
