	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint John Lateran
		It was dedicated to the Saviour, "Basilica Salvatoris", the dedication to St. John being of later date, and due to a Benedictine monastery of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist which adjoined the basilica and where members were charged at one period with the duty of maintaining the services in the church.
		Between the basilica and the city wall there was in former times the great monastery, in which dwelt the community of monks whose duty it was to provide the services in the basilica.

		Giovanni Francesco Anerio Giovanni Francesco Anerio (c.1567—buried June 12, 1630) was an Italian composer of the Roman School, of the very late Renaissance and early Baroque eras.
		Giovanni's principal importance in music history was his contribution to the early development of the oratorio; he represented the progressive trend within the otherwise conservative Roman School, though he also shared some of the stylistic tendencies of his brother, who was much indebted to Palestrina.
		He studied at the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome with several people including Palestrina, became a priest in the 1570s and by 1580 was maestro di cappella at S. Giuseppe Baini, Orlande de Lassus, a.k.a.

		Son of stone mason Giovanni Domenico Castelli, Borromini began his career as a stone mason himself, and soon moved to Milan to study and practice this activity.
		In 1634, his first individual commission was the reconstruction of the church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (some authors say it is here that he changed his name).
		The façade was expanded to include parts of the bordering Pamphilii palace, gaining space for the two bell towers (each of which has a clock, as in St. Peter's, one for Roman time, the other for ''tempo ultramontano'', European time).

		The new basilica was consecrated by Urban VIII.

		It was here on Christmas Day 800 AD on the tomb of St. Peter that Leo III crowned Charlemange, not in the church of San Giovanni in Laterno (now the cathedral of Rome) as was first presumed.

		The palace basilica was converted and extended, eventually becoming the cathedral of Rome, the seat of the popes as patriarchs of Rome.
		For the next 1,000 years it was the center of Christian life within the city; the residence of the popes; and the basilica that was built next to it became the seat of the bishop of Rome.
		One of the most impressive features in the Basilica is the larger-than-life sculptures of the 12 apostles that line the center aisle.

		After I finished in the Museum, around 5:00, I walked down to the Castello San Angelo, this is an interesting building, built as a Mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian, and later used as a fortress by the popes.
		Anyway, I took the subway to San Giovanni, there, I toured the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterno.
		Antica means "ancient," basically this is the road that runs all the way to Bari- the one Respigi wrote his fourth movement about; it really does have pines, and I had the song in my head all afternoon.
