Description
House where the Transit of St Benedict Labre (Benoit-Joseph Labre), the French pilgrim who died in 1783 in front of the Church of Santa Maria ai Monti, took place.
The place is now a small shrine that preserves the 'memory' of his death and some of his relics. A small place that on the anniversary of the day of his death, 16 April, overflows with the faithful who, until late at night, participate in the celebrations, crowding the small room-sanctuary.
The saint was buried in the church of Santa Maria ai Monti.
