In a recent and remarkable gathering, the Vatican hosted an engaging evening titled Roman Nights on December 1st, 2023.

John Wauck, a priest of Opus Dei with a rich background in Renaissance History and Literature; Anthony Johnson, a Senior Video Producer at EWTN Vatican Bureau with a decade of experience in video production; Elizabeth Lev, a US art historian with extensive expertise in Roman art and history; and Andreas Thonhauser, EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, who moderated the discussion.
