The Forgotten History of the First Poor Clare Community in Rome

This 15th-century Madonna with Child fresco by Antonio del Massaro, which also depicts Sts. Francis and Clare, is located in the church of the first Poor Clare monastery in Rome.

Behind a modern hospital in Rome’s Trastevere region stands the remains of a nearly-800-year-old monastery that once housed Franciscan nuns.
