The Reginaldus Inscription in the Teresianum

Rome is like an opera. The city is filled with spectacle, beauty, music, and passion. These are immediate: anyone can understand them. There are also words, and if you don’t know the language, you don’t understand the words. The result is you miss out on much of the story. The opera of Rome is in two languages. Of course there is Italian, the language that animates the daily life of the city. On the walls, in the books, and in the past, the story of Rome is written in Latin. Another little piece of Rome’s story just got enshrined in Latin. Reginald Foster, the Papal Latin Secretary who gained notoriety as one of Rome’s most colorful characters, has just gotten his first Latin inscription. It’s wonderful, too, and well worth sharing. <a href="https://medium.com/in-medias-res/the-reginaldus-inscription-in-the-teresianum-a9aee1a398ab">Visit Now</a>
