Via Papale
Starting with thecity in ruin, the Pope under arrest, and all of Catholicism under siege, the film, “The Lost Road of the Popes Via Papale” tells the story of the road on which 16th century Rome – and the Church itself – made the most profound religious and urban comeback in history.
Fueled by their faith, mission, and faith, the lives of six powerful Popes are followed, along with their family dynasties. We’re shown how they first accept the task of rebuilding, then of glorifying the new Rome.
Each Pope has a separate agenda, different allegiance, and individual fortunes, but all have one thing in common: they need to rebuild the Faith along Rome’s route of Papal processions, which is known as the Via Papale.
The Lost Road of the Popes tells the entire fascinating story of the miracle of this remarkable renaissance.
Learn how Rome and its Papal rulers not only survived, but were actually inspired to create the breathtaking churches, he monuments, the architecture and the art that helped to save and glorify the Catholic Church. Find out why that once powerful road has been…forgotten.
