Description

The session focuses on three aspects of medieval Roman liturgy: its architectural framework, the perception of a visitor to the city, and a case study of a day (Holy Thursday) on which multiple liturgical "events" took place. The presenters are, respectively, an architectural historian, a historian who specializes in the medieval Roman liturgy, and a musicologist.
