The Last Roman Barber


When he was just 20 he began to cut hair in this old Roman barber shop.  That was 56 years ago and here he is still today. 

Meet Adriano Santoloci, Rome's best barber.  Visit his shop for a cut on the Via Panisperna, 46; located just down the hill from the Angelicum.  Adriano is a great man who has watched Rome change over the years.

The Italian Dominican: Fr. Vincenzo Nuara, O.P.


When you see him you can almost hear the ancient Gregorian antiphon in honor of St. Dominic, O Lumen Ecclesiae!

We love you, Padre Nuara!

Meet Fr. Nuara, founder of Giovani e Tradizione and Amicizia Sacerdotale Summorum Pontificum (http://www.giovanietradizione.org/).  Fr. Nuara was the moderator of the overflow second Rome conference held in the Vatican (in the extraterritorial Roman minor seminary palace) on the Extraordinary Form of the Roman rite.  All of the many youth and clergy in attendance, as a sign of their filial respect, had an opportunity to warmly thank Fr. Nuara for his leadership, holiness and wisdom. 

In the aula seated on the dais he is a natural.  A fine leader and a born orator.  A true Dominican: teacher, student and preacher.  In short, Fr. Nuara is one of the best.  He promotes holiness, prayer and the exemplarity of the perennial philosophy and theology of St. Thomas Aquinas.  May the Lord always bless his many and varied labors in this world always for the salvation of souls and the spread of the kingdom.
