Do you like this outdoor pulpit? I heard it sure can hold a lot of weight! St. Thomas Aquinas preached from this nice lecturn many hundreds of years ago! You can pray here, in this piazza, as I did! When you visit Rome, just take an approx. 1.5 hour train ride north to the town of Viterbo. There, you will find this site along with the tombs of 4 popes!
