I couldn't leave Rome without visiting my namesake! The feeling associated with the Piazza Cecilia is one of solemn reverence. It was very nice to be able to light a candle at the altar. The sculpture of what S. Cecilia looked like in her coffin was quite eerie and if it feels like you are walking above a centuries old...
