Roma, Chiesa di san Gregorio della Divina Pietà

According to tradition a medieval church was built on the house were St. Gregory the Great was born; as a matter of fact the ancient walls which have been unearthed under the current building were part of Teatro di Marcello. In 1555 when Pope Paul IV forced the Jews to live inside the Ghetto, S. Gregorio a Ponte Quattro Capi acquired importance because it was located immediately outside one of the two main gates of the Ghetto; the Jews had to attend masses or to listen to sermons inside the church.
