What I Am Today ...

... You Will Be Tomorrow

Alms slot Santa Maria Dell'Orazione
The church of Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte stands across from the Palazzo Farnese and was built in 1575 by a confraternity founded in 1551 to collect and give Christian burial to the unknown dead of Rome. This plaque is one of several on either side of the entrance that asks for donations to continue this pious work. The confraternity still fulfils that task today.
