Editor’s note: here we present Romanitas, a series led by Vincenzo Randazzo from Rome. Romanitas will explore Catholic culture from the city of Rome with historical and contemporary commentary. Mr. Randazzo has already written about the Roman attitude toward their bishop, the pope. Here Randazzo shares about three locations for the Latin Mass in Rome.


Vincenzo graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a double major in Philosophy and Catholic Studies. He spent three of his undergraduate years in formation at the St. John Vianney Seminary—part of which was in Rome. He has arranged several pilgrimages for young adults around the U.S. as well as internationally to Panama, Costa Rica, Poland, and Italy and he worked as an Evangelization Manager for five years in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. He currently lives in Rome where he works for Notre Dame part time as he pursues a masters degree in financial technology.
