N.B. There are a great collection of Jesuit treasures at the Chiesa di Gesú in what is called "La Sagrestia Nuova", the new sacristy, an upstairs series of rooms which includes a balcony looking out into the central nave of the church. The website says it is open to the public every Saturday, Sundays and Holy Days 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, or by appointment at info@chiesadelgesu.org

At Saint Louis University there is a much more modest collection of Jesuit treasures related to the American missions.

And, last year, a part of the Roman College, the rooms of Saint Louis Gonzaga, were restored to their original splendor and opened again to the public. I would love to say Mass on that altar! To make reservations for a visit: Tel. 066974406 – chiesasantignazio@gesuiti.it
